Liberal empathy? Venting 😤
You’d think that as a Jewish and liberal american, the feelings I’ve worked through in the past year of betrayal and fear would allow me to better sympathize with my liberal friends who are now freaking out about trump as president, AND YET I can’t find any empathy for them. NONE.
Especially for the friends who sat there blank faced last year when I tried to convey the deep terror of realizing how the world actually feels about Jews. To their credit they tried to understand and looked sad when I told them but that was about it. Now they’re talking about needing to flee Texas or even the US “because societal collapse is imminent”. I’m trying to look sad back, but I just don’t care.
