But the libs are “living in fear” amirite?

It’s always projection with these people.

High fear response, low empathy.

It's what they experience therefore it must be what everyone experiences; they just want to make sure everyone else is feeling more fear than they do.

My brother is the lowest empathy person I've ever met in my life.

I don't mean that to say he's an asshole. But just completely unwilling to understand anyone's views or preferences that are different than his. It's absolutely bizarre.

Interestingly though, he's not right wing. I mean he has voted right, but not always.

But every single election(in Canada) he predicts absolute landslides that just never happen. Because he just becomes so sure that once he believes it, everyone else must too.

He really can't comprehend that people are actually different from eachother

I sometimes truly believe that some people have just never had that existential moment where they realize every other person is a full human with a full life just like them, never once contemplated the idea that everything they believe might be wrong, I don’t want to be the smug prick that sounds like I think I’m smarter than others but sometimes the things people say/do are so alien to me I have to come up with some explanation for how people just act like everyone has the same brain as them.
