Hollywood’s Woke Agenda and the Hypocrisy of “Toxic Empathy”

Hollywood’s elite gathered for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, and as expected, the night turned into a political spectacle rather than a celebration of artistic achievement. Jane Fonda took center stage during her Lifetime Achievement Award speech, using the moment to attack Trump and push Hollywood to unite against him.

“Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke,” Fonda declared. “Woke just means you care about other people.”

She went on to warn the audience that “a lot of people will be really hurt by what is coming”, urging Hollywood to welcome everyone into a ‘big tent’ of resistance against Trump.

Hollywood’s Selective “Empathy”

Greg Gutfeld wasn’t buying it.

“Good luck finding a tent,” he quipped, “because they’re all out of stock in LA for obvious reasons.”

His sarcasm pointed to the homelessness crisis plaguing Los Angeles, which has exploded under progressive leadership, despite the same elites preaching about empathy and compassion.

“They call what they do ‘empathy,’ yet they preside over cities filled with crime, addiction, and devastation. If this is their version of compassion, I don’t even want to know what it looks like when they stop pretending to care.”

Hollywood’s Climate Alarmism

As if Fonda’s speech wasn’t cringeworthy enough, the president of SAG followed up with a bizarre, incoherent rant about climate change.

“When man versus nature, nature will always win,” she declared, warning of “greed” and “climate denial” as the causes of California’s recent wildfires, floods, mudslides, and earthquakes.

The audience cheered, despite the absurdity of her claims—earthquakes are not caused by climate change, as pointed out by Michelle Tafoya.

“Did that sound a little bit like Kamala Harris?” she joked, mimicking the word salad rhetoric often associated with the vice president.

The Concept of “Toxic Empathy”

Dr. Drew took a more analytical approach, coining the term “toxic empathy” to describe Hollywood’s mindset.

“Real empathy means standing firm with someone, helping them overcome their struggles, and setting high standards,” he explained. “Giving addicts free heroin and tents isn’t empathy—it’s a death sentence.”

He emphasized that Hollywood’s so-called compassion often enables self-destruction, rather than helping people improve their circumstances.

Trump’s Leadership vs. Hollywood’s Hypocrisy

Meanwhile, as Hollywood elites were busy virtue-signaling, Trump was actually getting things done. Within his first month in office, he had already:

Negotiated a rare-earth minerals deal with Ukraine to help end the war.
Announced “Gold Cards” to attract wealthy foreign investors and create American jobs.
Saw his approval rating rise to 52%, including strong support from women, Hispanics, and suburban voters.

In contrast, Democrats are struggling to maintain relevance, with Frank Luntz warning them that their resistance messaging isn’t working:

“People don’t want ‘resistance.’ They want efficiency, accountability, and real solutions.”

Jane Fonda: From “Hanoi Jane” to Hollywood Activist

At 86, Jane Fonda remains a controversial figure, once known for her Vietnam-era activism that earned her the nickname “Hanoi Jane.” However, despite her decades of political activism, many argue she has gained no real wisdom with age.

“She’s 86, five years older than Biden, and yet she still has zero experiential learning,” one panelist remarked. “She’s rich, out of touch, and talking about compassion while doing nothing to help real people.”

Final Thoughts: Hollywood vs. Reality

As Hollywood elites pat themselves on the back for their performative empathy, Americans are increasingly rejecting their lectures.

“Democrats are running a left-right campaign against a guy running an inside-out revolution,” Jesse Watters observed.

Trump is delivering real results—while Hollywood delivers meaningless speeches. And judging by his rising approval ratings, the American people seem to prefer action over empty words.
