Because they've wholly bought into the idea that it's not "Americans" that are dying, it's "The Enemy" that is. That they wouldn't have died if they didn't do something to "deserve" it.

It's just like the Myth of Meritocracy. If you got it then you deserved it, the proof that you deserved it is that you got it.

MAGA has certainly convinced me that they aren't patriots. I now consider them to be Dogey Americans, servants of an evil regime and avatars of malice.

It ain't great that things have become black and white like this, but it is pretty clear that there isn't room for nuance anymore.
