Empathy is good. Calls for unity are good. But let's stop pretending that the "two sides" are symmetrical and morally equivalent. Stop saying, "oh, you think X is bad, but the other side just thinks the same about you". Along every dimension, the picture is incredibly lopsided.

Empathy is to extend an open hand. Not to pretend that lies are worth just as much as facts, that character doesn't matter, that the rule of law is just as nice as corruption and autocracy. These things do matter. Remember denazification in Germany.
