"When it comes to #Kirk’s death, empathy helps prop up Republicans and Trumpists as legitimate and normal political actors. Cooing praise of “persuasion” sends the message that there is some common ground, some kind of fellowship to be had between the right and the left at a moment when there is anything but. And that fantasy, I believe, is ultimately harmful, not just for that person but for society as a whole."
