You're saying the left is just straight up nicer than the right? This seems like kind of a weak take.

"Facts don't care about your feelings" crowd confused when the left is considered to care more about feelings.

Do you really think people say things like that because they don’t care about feelings? The point is that often feelings don’t align with reality. It’s a statement on human bias, really.

No, I’m saying that their policies are more inclined to be interpreted as nice/charitable than conservative policies. This covers wide areas such as immigration (allow migrants into the country), welfare (increase social programs, such as guaranteeing school children lunches), gender identity (celebrate diversity and accept everyone equally), gun control (support passing measures to reduce school shootings), racism (support dismantling Confederate monuments), etc.

Policy aside, at an individual level, people on both sides are equally nice in my experience.

The issue with these takes is that they all are quite ambiguous. The "Harmonious society" of China is also often described as inherently nicer than the individual freedom and competitive social stance we enjoy in the West, but plenty of people would quibble with that point of view. Similarly, many of the issues you mention have "nice" policy approaches that are closer to what moderate centrists advocate than to anything on the extreme left.

Isn't that pretty consistently what studies show - that right-leaning individuals are less likely to act/communicate with empathy and compassion?

Counterpoint: it's not a weak take.
