I was listening to a podcast with Penn Jillette and one of the things he said stuck in my head.
As background, he said, notwithstanding Godwin's Law [1] I would say that the line about 'the worst thing about Hitler is that he turned his enemies into him ' definitely applies to Trump. As an experiment, he decided to stop using the term 'them'. Specifically, instead of using the term 'Trump voters', he replaced it with the term 'those of us who voted for Trump'. What struck me the most about this story was his recollection of just how hard this was to do. Empathy isn't easy.
