Conservatives are sociopaths

Conservatives are always accusing liberals of "appealing to emotion," as if conservatives are all logical and reasonable and never have emotional outbursts.
Given that Trump is always throwing tantrums, your argument is invalid. However, what you conservatives do lack is empathy. Empathy for the outcasts, empathy for the underdogs. If you have any empathy, it's in the wrong place. People in power don't need your empathy. And you claim to support small government? You can't support small government while also supporting police brutality, endless war, mass surveillance, the death penalty, strict immigration laws, and legislated morality that does not directly relate to not harming people.
Now, I'm not exactly left-wing. I hate the government way too much for that. So I'm not trying to say that the left is always right (so to speak). What I'm trying to say is that having empathy for people in power is a waste of energy.
Now, before you say, "but I have empathy for the unborn children who are slaughtered every day," here's the thing: I'm against abortion too. But why are you against it? Clearly it's not because you're against killing children (if you were consistently opposed to child murder, you would not be the warmongering ICE-loving jerk that you are). No, you're only validating the belief that pro-lifers just want to control people and don't care about people after they're born, which is a huge reason why people don't take the case against abortion seriously.
Also, if you're the type of person who thinks one must believe in God to have morals, then that's another sign that you lack empathy. If you think the only reason to care about human beings is because someone else said you should (even if that someone else is omnipotent and omniscient), then that means that authority is the only thing stopping you from being a serial killer, and that makes me want to stay as far away from you as possible because if your God told you to commit murder (which, according to the Bible, has happened multiple times), you'd do it. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with believing in God (I actually believe in God myself), but you need to have a back-up plan, just in case you stop believing in God, so that you don't become a murderer.
