tessaviolet:fangirlingtoohardovertoby:I love Tessa <3 she’s right though you guys. I may lose followers, but everyone deserves some respect. Even people who don’t agree with your views on things. I deleted this because of the hundred billion @replies telling me he didn’t deserve empathy and how much they hated him and LOOK I DON’T EVEN AGREE WITH HIS POLICIES REALLY I DON’T but he is still a human being, and that is a hard thing to lose what you’ve worked your entire life for then have to go and give a speech being like “nah, it’s all good”.I’m just saying, I can empathize with what he and his family must be feeling. He has already lost, I don’t need to keep tearing him down. I can celebrate my candidate’s win without trashing the loser. I’m mostly just disturbed by people’s attitude that someone needs to earn empathy. I find that more terrifying than anything. I can disagree with someone about everything, even place blame for their decisions leading to their current situations, and still reach out to them as a fellow member of humanity and acknowledge that that is sad for them. I wish we would all show a little more compassion. -- source link
