I see it differently. There was a huge outpouring of sympathy from the right when Bidens news broke. I didn’t see a single unsympathetic comment.

Then compare it to mirror issues, when something bad happens to someone on the right. It may be the rage-bait algorithms steering things, but I seem to remember snark from the left after Trumps assassination attempt, the healthcare CEO shooting, Teslas stock decline, etc.

Literally from the president[1], his son[2], and his VP[3]. Do these conspiracy theories about Biden hiding his diagnosis sound sympathetic to you?

>Teslas stock decline

So you want us to be empathetic to the guy who has directly said that "The fundamental weakness of western civilization is empathy"?[4]

Time to take off your blinders? Trump accused Biden of hiding his cancer diagnosis and conservatives are running with that narrative.
