When Tragedy Turns Political: The Texas Floods and the Erosion of Empathy |July 22, 2025

All Episodes

July 22, 2025 • 40 mins

On today’s show, we confront the growing and deeply troubling trend of politicizing tragedy—specifically, the devastating floods that have ravaged parts of Texas. These floods have claimed innocent lives, including those of young girls, and left countless families shattered in their wake. Rather than uniting in grief, compassion, and support, some individuals on social media have chosen instead to weaponize the disaster for political gain.Shockingly, posts have surfaced directly blaming President Trump and his supporters for the natural disaster—some even suggesting that those affected "got what they deserved." This type of rhetoric isn't just distasteful; it’s morally bankrupt. To suggest that political affiliation somehow justifies death or suffering is a line that should never be crossed.
