The condemnation of "thoughts and prayers" seems to have really taken off once people realized that these are conservative markers, and most people do not want to be conservatives any more. (The fact that the outgroup is responsible for the situation has not changed, of course.)

No, the condemnation is because the phrase is used in lieu of action. If God's plan includes one being in a position to pass legislation to change the problem one is praying about, then what is one praying *for* exactly?

"Thoughts and prayers" is the Christian conservative's way of saying that they are deeply concerned about the situation. It betrays lack of empathy to say that it means they do not want actually want to change it. (Of course they prefer different policies than progressives.)
