I think that's the exact point. Conservatives are fine with mass deportations, until it's them. They're fine with protestors being run over, until it's them. They're fine with denying people abortions, until it's them. They're fine with a few people being shot dead, until it's them.
It's why conservative commentators talk so much about how empathy is bad. If you were empathetic you'd know that, if you wouldn't be alright with it happening to you, it's not alright for it to happen to others.
