When I first saw your comment there were no replies, and I thought you were critiquing Trump supporters, and it seemed fairly misplaced with too many absolutes to be an accurate depiction of reality. But I didn't engage because it seemed fruitless to provide minor corrections.

But apparently the partisanship is reversed! You think that I am demanding "perfect empathy" (I am not) and you think I have now shown empathy for my family members (which, you don't know the history). You are describing narcissistic behavior, which is quite endemic in my family members, and having dealt with it for decades I also recognize the attempt to blame others for one's own failing.

Yes, it is all breathtaking, but not in the way you think.

Based on your reply, nothing I said was uncalled for. Just speaking as an objective observer.
