By humanity I'm talking about humane qualities... I mean kindness, empathy, love. Are we going to see this from the new Republican party/alt-Right/Trump admin in the near future?
I've been waiting this whole election for efforts from the Trump campaign to reach out and understand people. Even Republicans waited and expected their candidate to eventually act like a decent human being. We have all been waiting for signs of goodness.
I have heard so many people grapple with Trump's (and his supporters) perceived lack of humanity, empathy, and kindness. It's impossible to believe there is none, and yet we struggle to see it... It appears kindness and humanity is extremely elusive in the Trump camp. Even the people he has speaking for him seem like cold, angry, combative people.
So... Is the LOVE coming back? Will there be any kind of redeeming qualities coming back to the Republican party?
I understand the plans to defund Planned Parenthood, build a wall, torture people, murder the innocent families of terrorists, empower police, stop and frisk, racial profiling, mass deportation, and to end Obamacare.... I understand ALL that.
Is love and kindness coming back anytime soon?

Conservatives have humanity. We just approach solutions in a different manner.
Trump and Hillary are walking down the street a see a homeless guy. Trump gives the guy a job application and says stop by tomorrow, I have a job you can do. Hillary reaches into Trumps pocket, takes five bucks and gives he homeless guy.
This pretty much describes the difference in philosophies...

OK, I think I see the disconnect. The topics you mentioned are some that a liberal might champion. Where as, a conservative might worry about national security, border security, job creation, infrastructure, the economy. That is not to say the things you mentioned aren't important, they just fall in a different order of importance depending on whom is viewing them.
