This is freethinking through the fourth turning. My name is Sacha Stone. Oh, Hillary, Empathy, really? Please. An open letter to Hillary Clinton. Dear Hillary, imagined my shock when I saw you wrote an op ed in the Atlantic. Before I even read a line, I knew what the point of the article would be because I know you. For podcast listeners, a headline maga's War on Empathy. The crisis in Minneapolis reveals a deep moral rot at the heart of the Trump movement by Hillary Rodham Clinton. This crisis also reveals a deeper moral rot at the heart of Trump's MAGA movement. Whatever you think about immigration policy, how could a person of conscience justify the lack of compassion and empathy for the victims in Minnesota and for the families torn apart or hiding in fear, for the children separated from their parents or afraid to go to school? That compassion is weak and cruelty is strong has become an article of MAGA faith. Trump and his allies believe that the more inhumane the treatment, the more likely it is to spread fear. That's the goal of surging heavily armed federal forces into blue states such as Minnesota and Maine. Street theater of the most dangerous kind. Other presidents, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, managed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants without turning American cities into battlegrounds or making a show of keeping children in cages. End quote. Oh, I see the game. You know, selling open borders is an election killer. So you think selling empathy or compassion will help bridge the gap and maybe win back independents who don't want an open border but are troubled by what they see on the news? As with everything else, it's a manufactured delusion you too must sell. Which explains why the Democrats are in this position now, resorting to the first violent attacks on the government since the 1970s. And no, January 6th doesn't count. These are coordinated, orchestrated, well funded attacks, not protests as much as flirting with terrorism. And you know that too, don't you, Hillary? And you're worried, and you should be. You also know that no president, not Obama or Bush or Clinton, ever had to deal with a cell phone brigade who are screaming, spitting, body slamming, ICE agents everywhere they go, stalking them, blocking their paths, building makeshift networks online to fine them, harass them, and stop them from doing their jobs. You know this is a first, and you know exactly why. But that won't stop you from lying, Hillary. What else is new? You're setting up the argument to slime your way out of this moment, where the Democrats are too crazy to lead and are looking more like the Manson family every day. I Had to laugh, though, at the misappropriation of yet another word, empathy. As if any of you ever had any empathy for anyone other than those who will be voting blue, no matter who. No, you can't call the other half of the country racists for 10 years and then pretend to have any empathy. Just look at Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway on a recent podcast talking about how we'll have the Nuremberg trials should all of you crazy people ever get back in power. And we will, Galloway says. Here's a clip from Ben Shapiro.
