The issue is that their empathy, like most people's in history, extends to their immediate circle and no further. Once he became affected, he realized Trump doesnt care. Everything else was a victory in the name of GuyWhoHasntWrongedHimSpecifically because He said so
It’s so interesting that they can spend so much time thinking about people not in their circle, but also have no empathy for those people despite being hyper aware of them
They watch unironically 10+ hours a day for 20+ years propaganda telling them these people are evil and deserve no sympathy, so I guess it's not that surprising.
