E155: Can Empathy Be Toxic? w/ Allie Beth Stuckey

What is toxic empathy? How do progressives use handpicked stories to evoke emotions to shape policy decisions? What does true compassion look like? Today I sit down with my dear friend Allie Beth Stuckey as we discuss her new book, ‘Toxic Empathy’. We discuss the various ways that one-sided emotional stories are used to promote progressive values on issues such as abortion, sexuality, gender, and immigration. We also talk about the recent trend of conservatives who are employing toxic empathy. I think you’ll enjoy this discussion!
