I honestly don’t think it’s that complicated. They want to feel like their political values are altruistic and pure and they someone equate achieving this by refusing to do the bare minimum needed to actually help those they pretend to give a shit about, all while taking swings at anyone that points out a flaw in their ideology.,

They’re the yin-yang of abject arrogance and entitlement.

And like their MAGA cousins, they’re too stupid to ever see it for themselves, and too stubborn to ever allow anyone to show them the way out.
