If people in their opinion silos suggest that cities and racial minorities are suffering more they 'real Americans', they will be absolutely fine with the shut-down. Otherwise, they will blame Obama.

Perhaps they need to be shown what suffering is like for others. MTG’s town drove non-whites out some years ago as I understand it. You can’t understand what you don’t know. Some of the ability to be oblivious is down to MAGA media. DeSantis is helping to amplify those views. I continue to hope someone somewhere will figure out ways to reach those that non-MAGA media doesn’t represent. Not trying was got Germany to find it was led by Nazis. That is simply unacceptable.
I wish I shared your optimism. But if past history is any guide, the ONLY way conservatives in general and MAGA in particular see a problem as relevant is if it directly affects them or people close to them. It was only when Rs understood that they knew or were related to gay people that they saw gay people as deserving of full status as humans and citizens. They absolutely do not care about the suffering of an outgroup.
As a matter of fact, many Republicans are not so doctrinaire about abortion these days. Which is why maximalist measures put up to a popular vote in Kansas and Wisconsin were defeated. These were red states, so Republican voters helped defeat them.
I'd love to know if this is due to MAGA and the right-wing in general placing more of an emphasis on respecting of persons (only people who are like me or who I know personally are reliable witness, and also can be given the benefit of the doubt) over respecting of behaviors. This would also be a root of the emphasis on personal loyalty (which appears to be more prevalent on the right).

How does this explain their explicit oppression of women> They certainly know a few of them.
