Their empathy and compassion do not extend past their own “tribe.”
It is a mistake to think that reactionaries have a value system based on morality; the closest they come to this is confusing it with their highly tuned feeling of disgust for people who are different from them.
To a reactionary, the highest “moral” good is to fit in your box and fulfill the role that society has dictated for you.
It’s why they’re calling Harris a “DEI” hire: the implication is that she jumped her station and so doesn’t deserve to be president. It’s why they said Obama isn’t an American: to attack his legitimacy.
They simply cannot help themselves, and it’s why Harris is anathema to them: their focus on identity politics means she cannot be legitimate because they don’t actually care about her qualifications but instead on how much of an insult to white men her election would be.
They don’t want to be “good,” they want all the people they hate to be put back in their place. It’s what reactionaries always do.

I’m pretty sure it’s because they think we don’t know they mean the N word.
