How do I regain my empathy? Lately this year and for most of 2019, I've mostly felt ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No happiness...

First thing I would ask you, do you spend more than just a little bit of your time buried in politics?
If the answer is yes turn that fucking shit off ASAP.

If nothing else in this thread then at least follow this advice. Watching groups of people argue and bicker over shit won't do anything to help your faith in there being a group of humans that exist who have any brains whatsoever.

I really don't fucking know. Either I'm completely ignorant or my family are master politicians. Either way I just don't know what's happening anymore.

Are you guys basically saying to spend some time away from people?

Nah
You can still find people who are avoiding politics. Only issue for you may be that they will more likely lean to the left to some degree. Most Everyone who is right of center is living politics to some degree right now.
