John C. Reilly questions why human rights have become political
"If you stand up for human rights, why is that a right or left thing? Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights?"
"Elon Musk says, 'don’t be fooled by the empathy trap'. ... Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
"Do unto others ... It's crazy that we have to argue for these things"

@OldLouBrewer Of all the ridiculous claims his sycophants have made, this may be the most preposterous. The man is inarticulate. Cannot speak in complete sentences of any complexity and all of this was true in 2016. Now add 10 years of decline. JD is just lying.
@DavidPSamson It’s wild how they turn basic recognition of the humanity of an oppressed group of people into targeting the oppressors of those same people. That’s some real pretzel logic.
