Why would it be the result of human nature. You are a human. Your "human nature" refers to those things you share with everyone else, not what separates you from everyone (or anyone) else.
-but yes, we have a nature, and all of those other things too. Some of us, anyway. Others, not so much. Probably more accurate to say that the contents of such knowledge sets are not identical across societies and time and individuals. How much cultural capital and knowledge or history of grandparents in concentration camps do you suspect the average trumper has? Even, so....sure, if normal human behavior™ is a generally slim but variable range there will probably be some people who are "naturally worse" than others. We don't leave our kids with rapists when we can help it, for example. The same would be true for decency. We have experience...all of us, with at least one uncommonly kindhearted person. That's where you shelve the little bastards.
In sum...I don't believe I could turn my back on a maga nut for a second. I would expect better outcomes from you regardless of our (seemingly) vast disagreement on so much we both believe to be of moral import. Foxhole friendship, lol.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
