I grew up inside this kind of “love.”
It weaponizes God to justify harm
and calls dissent a sin.
That’s not devotion.
That’s domination.

If you’re a person of faith:
Speak. Publicly. Now.
Reject the use of God’s name as a weapon.
Defend trans lives. Defend migrants. Defend dissent.
Neutrality is already choosing power.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t faith entering politics.
This is political power weaponizing religion to wage an authoritarian project.
Not belief.
Not conscience.
Control.

A manda Marcotte argues that Elon Musk’s ❝empathy is a weakness❞ schtick is just the flashy, male tip of a deeper right-wing project that’s been incubated in white evangelical media, where Allie Beth Stuckey’s ❝toxic empathy❞ brand wraps harsh, anti-empathetic theology in soft, hyper-feminine aesthetics. ❝Feeling too much for someone can blind us to reality… It can cause us to ignore the truth, the objective truth, in favor of how a person feels.❞ Allie Beth Stuckey, on her ❝Relatable❞ podcast, laying out the logic that empathy must be curbed in favour of supposedly ❝objective❞ biblical truth
❝Toxic empathy❞ is a phrase that embeds the idea that women have too much power in our society — and that their alleged overabundance of compassion is destroying us. Amanda Marcotte, summarising how Stuckey’s ❝toxic empathy❞ framing turns a stereotypically feminine virtue into a supposed civilisational threat Stuckey is just one of many far-right female commentators who have realized that they can use hyper-feminine aesthetics to conceal what would immediately register as dystopian, even fascistic sentiments if they came from a man. Amanda Marcotte, arguing that Stuckey’s pastel, ❝relatable❞ brand launders authoritarian and bigoted politics through gendered vibes
⚠️🎭 MAGA’s war on empathy💔🧊 gets a makeover: Allie Beth Stuckey sells a ✝️ cold-hearted Jesus and anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist politics in pastel 🎀 packaging, giving 🎭 Musk-style ❝empathy is a bug❞ rhetoric a soft, feminine face. ⚠️ #ToxicEmpathy #SoftenedFascism #WeaponizedFaith
WHY RIGHT-WING RELIGION IS SO FUCKED UP
Right-wing religion thrives on fear, control, and judgment instead of grace, love, and truth. It weaponizes Scripture for control.
