Conservatives are only anxious about gas prices and the fact that their attempt to oppress and exterminate vulnerable classes appears to be in jeopardy. They are nervous that their dream of permanent power might be slipping away.

Conservatives are the oppressors, not the victims. In fact, conservatives would call your expression of empathy for them "woke" and see it as a weakness to exploit.

Understand that a conservative is biologically unable to experience empathy. This is why they despise it and are disgusted by it. Give them a hint of empathy and they will use it to attack you.
