He cheered for ICE until ICE arrested him, and now he finally gets it.
Milo Yiannopoulos spent years advocating for harsh ICE tactics, then was arrested by ICE himself and described the "institutionalized brutality" firsthand. I break down why this is bigger than Milo; it's a pattern of experience-dependent empathy on the right.
In this breakdown: why Republicans only empathize after it happens to them, how Trump scrapped the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal just because Obama's name was on it, why gas prices and measles outbreaks (vaccine available since 1963, eliminated in the US in 2000) keep coming back when we ignore experts, and why RFK Jr's anti-vaccine push is costing lives.
Do I have empathy for Milo? No. But there's a lesson here about what happens when "gut feeling" replaces expertise.
