It seems that the heart of leftism is an ice cave, especially when the flames of tragedy ignite. This became strikingly evident when news broke that conservative actor James Woods lost his home in the Southern California wildfires. One would think that irrespective of political differences, humanity would step up and show empathy. Not so fast. The left’s true colors shone through as they danced on the ashes of a man’s misfortune.
In the wake of Woods’ poignant acknowledgment of his loss, expressing that it felt like “losing a loved one,” the typical responses from the left were anything but compassionate. Instead of offering a kind word or two, the usual leftist suspects took to social media, reveling in the drama. One professor, fittingly named Karen, mocked Woods, claiming his home was a case of karma at play. It appears Piper’s take was as thoughtful as a stop sign in a demolition derby, drawing more attention to her lack of humanity than to any profound insight.
After this gaffe, Piper’s academic credentials came into question—her University of Missouri faculty page mysteriously became inaccessible, leaving many wondering if she had vanished into the void of her own making. A screenshot later revealed her professional interests, showcasing a penchant for “climate change fiction,” which sounds like a bad plot twist in a low-budget thriller where people live on their high horses while the rest of the country feels the heat—literally.
More joyful leftist comments flooded the feeds, with one user eagerly suggesting Woods’ misfortune was deserved. This joy over someone else’s suffering reflects a systemic toxicity that is almost impressive in its consistency. However, amidst the darkness, some users without a jaded worldview rallied to Woods’ defense. They reminded the leftist trolls that Donald Trump’s election was, and remains, a clear indication that the average American values decency over leftist spite. The true sentiments of the nation shine brighter than posturing on social media.

In a refreshing twist, the responses even pointed out the hypocrisy of the left. Actor Mark Hamill, another Hollywood figure, also faced his own evacuation from the wildfires. Yet the glee was not directed toward him, raising questions about the selective cruelty pervasive among those who claim to champion compassion. It is almost as if the left has adopted a version of reality that survives on cognitive dissonance, showcasing selective concern based purely on ideological alignment.
The backlash against these deranged displays of schadenfreude highlights a critical divide in society. There are those who demonstrate empathy—caring for a rabbit escaping flames while others revel in a human’s loss of home. The inconsistency of the left’s empathy model raises uncomfortable questions about their moral compass, or lack thereof. As Trump prepares to reclaim the presidency, it seems that many Americans are ready to relegate such narrow-mindedness to the fringes where it belongs, laughing all the way.
