MAGA’s War on Empathy This crisis in Minneapolis reveals a deep moral rot at the heart of Trump’s movement.

In an op-ed, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cites PRRI data finding that Republicans (25%) are more likely than independents (14%) and Democrats (8%) to agree with the statement “Empathy is a dangerous emotion that undermines our ability to set up society that is guided by God’s truth.”

Trump's Lies Are Killing Us: The Deadly Consequences of Big and Little Lies Everywhere Trump's deadly lies represent a new stage in the backsliding of America away from democracy.

Wrote this even before the execution of Alex Pretti. Trump bears direct responsibility for these deaths & the suffering. If we trace the chain of events that brought ICE agents to Minneapolis, they are anchored in Trump’s racist lies.
Trump's lies are killing us.

Breaking new research from @prri.org today on political violence and hate. We find that only about half of Republicans (51%) and white evangelicals (52%) now believe that hate symbols like Nazi flags or swastikas contribute a lot to political violence.

MAGA is at war with the very ideas of objective truth and empirical reality:

Trump's Lies Are Killing Us: The Deadly Consequences of Big and Little Lies Everywhere Trump's deadly lies represent a new stage in the backsliding of America away from democracy.

DT’s and m*ga’s endless “lies, both big and small, have been corrosive to the foundations of civil society and democracy, which depend on a shared sense of reality. But the events of the first days of 2026 also show that they are deadly. They are literally killing us.” @robertpjones.bsky.social
