I feel like empathy has gone out of style

In the midst of the political blowout that has overthrown Wisconsin, I can’t help but notice how angry its made people.  Instead of having a sense of empathy for these people that are having their jobs shaken out from under them; a sense of anger and injustice overtakes these people. I can’t even say its a partisan issue anymore. It seems more like there’s a virus in the air. A virus that takes over your moral compass and tells you that people who make the bare minimum to survive are getting more than you are.  A virus that makes you look like a whiny baby.
  I’m having the same reaction to these people as I would have for zombies. I feel like there isn’t much of a difference. They are just groaning, mindless drones who chase what they want, and don’t care what they have to do to get it.
