Empathy is the soul of democracy, citizens caring for others to expand freedom and fairness for all. Conservatism, which includes racism, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, union busting, etc., doesn’t govern with empathy. You could have used the word “conservatives” in place of “racist,” according to cognitive scientist George Lakoff. “Zoning has often been a way for racists to make sure that no one builds in their neighborhoods.” Thank you for all you do!
