This is the question David French said Lovett Weems writes Christians risk losing credibility when politics eclipse Christlike lov…

With increasing momentum, voices on the Christian right are preaching that EMPATHY has become a VICE.
For them, empathy is a cudgel for the left:

“Empathy becomes toxic when it encourages you to affirm sin, validate lies or support destructive policie…

Conservative Christians argue empathy can lead to sin
Some voices on the Christian right are arguing the virtue of empathy has become a vice. Those Christians claim empathy can manipulate people into accepting what they see as sins, like abortion access and LGBTQ+ rights. Conservative evangelicals Allie Beth Stuckey and Joe Rigney have written books within the past year criticizing certain forms of empathy.

If Jesus had just won the primary for Mayor of New York City he would be pilloried as a "socialist".
