Here is why.

These people tend to be upset that he will affect THEIR lives.

They don't care at all that it will harm others, the only regret they have is that it might not be good for them personally.

Them being upset that his policies and those he eagerly signs for McConnell/Ryan might directly harm them doesn't change the rotten, core of who they are...people who saw a message of hate and said "YEP! That's my guy! He's one of my people".
