Totally correct.
If I lacked empathy, I would even enjoy the prospect of a sudden change in political power in places like Australia, from the current "consensus" to a far right faction, just for the sake of letting them feel the consequences of the system they're building, in the hands of the people they don't like.
To a certain extent that's what's happening in the US with the current regime, which is the left-sided mirror image of what the Evangelical nuts tried to institute in the period between Reagan and Dubya.
