I think it's very rational to see people being harmed and to want to do something about that. It's how many of the best policies in America have been formed. What's irrational is making it about politics, like it's somehow a leftist thing to empathize with the plight of others. Rationality isn't about suppressing your emotions and your connection to other people. It's about integrating those emotions with your values, knowledge, and capabilities and deciding how to act based on that synthesis. The fact is that we Americans are at our best when we're looking out for each other. And many of us are very concerned about COVID.
