It’s 2020 all over again. Well-meaning Christian women are being duped by emotionally evocative messaging and images on Instagram. If you’re not in this female demographic, you have no idea how strong this strategic propaganda campaign is. The pressure to repost social justice talking points to signal that you’re a good, empathetic person. Mindlessly repeating the narrative is rewarded, while critically thinking —especially out loud —is punished venomously by friends, followers, and family members who will shame you for lacking compassion. Even women who call themselves conservative Christians are echoing the perspective of left-wing outlets, insisting that Trump is going too far in his immigration enforcement. It’s like they don’t remember that these are the very same outlets who lied to us about George Floyd, COVID, and pro-life laws. It’s good to have compassion. We should always feel sad about loss of life. But we cannot allow our compassion to suspend sound judgment. Women, we have the ability to use discernment and think clearly. We do not have to use emotion to make important policy decisions. Don’t be swept up by this campaign targeting us. Use your mind, ask smart questions, and stand strong
