I guess there is a spectrum from empathy to cruelty, and Republicans make it obvious where they stand. Literally evil people.

If they are using potentially harmful gas on peaceful protesters, this is ANOTHER red line crossed. How many is it going to take until people are willing to do something this regime will notice?

And the press is so desperately obsequious to preserve their"access"...

Sometimes it's hard to discern between deliberate inefficacy and incompetence.

When you say, "democrats suck," the guy next to you says, "democrats suck? Why would I vote for them?" You're part of the reason we are here. If you don't like democrats then do something about it, don't suppress votes by whining.

Lack of empathy is a core conservative trait.

I would despair, but try to deal with it, if I thought Trump was legitimately backed by the majority of Americans. However, that is not going to be the case, and if the Republicans manage to steal the election, I will be enraged beyond reason, and will consider it a foreign occupation.
