Lack of empathy.

I was gonna say Donald Trump, but he (and his stans) fall under this category anyway.

I'd say too much false empathy, or twisted empathy? We need more sympathy.
No Empathy - I haven't been through what you've been through and I don't care.
False Empathy - I, as a rich white male politician, share the exact same human concerns and struggles as poor working class POC! So if your health insurance doesn't cover cancer treatment, can't you just use some of the money you earn?
Twisted Empathy - I had to deal with cancer before and I did it on my own with no help, why can't you? Are you lazy or just stupid? Maybe you don't deserve to get well like I did.
False Sympathy - I have never had to struggle to pay for cancer treatment, but that sounds awful. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Now I need to go sign this legislation to triple your bill and make it harder to get some of your medications.

Sympathy - I have never had to struggle to pay for a loved one's cancer treatment myself, but fuck does that sound shitty. What can be done to help?
Empathy - I've struggled to pay for a loved one's cancer treatment before, here are some resources to help.

But like... lets get real, most of the people who have the ability to solve a problem have never dealt with the problem personally. Like 45 bragging about how he was a self-made man with only a few million in seed money from his parents.

AYRT

I like this analysis. It's quite spot on.

And good lord, agreed about rich people who've never experienced such a problem personally, yet still claiming that they "know what the poor/working class are going through". I'm working class/poor and it still boggles my mind that other people in similar financial situations brought into Trump's "I know what you guys are going through" bullshit.
