https://thehill.com/homenews/media/579991-carville-blames-stupid-wokeness-for-democratic-lossesJames Carville weighs in a PBS interview;
"What went wrong is just stupid wokeness. Don't just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Wash. I mean, this 'defund the police' lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln's name off of schools. I mean that — people see that," Carville said.
"It's just really — has a suppressive effect all across the country on Democrats. Some of these people need to go to a 'woke' detox center or something," he added. "They're expressing a language that people just don't use, and there's backlash and a frustration at that."
I think this is part of it.
What comes to mind is "who cares about woke nonsense when the other party tried to overturn American democracy, and they're still promoting the extremism that led to Jan 6th(see Tucker's nutty documentaries)?".
But I suppose the "stop the steal" and Jan 6th trutherism is not as front and center in many people's lives as the woke stuff. And school boards aren't developing curriculum devoted to the "stop the steal" narrative.
