James Carville Says ‘Stupid Wokeness’ Costs Democrats at the Polls
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...135617295.html
Democratic strategist James Carville identified Wednesday what he believes is costing his party at the polls: “Stupid wokeness.”
“What  went wrong is just stupid wokeness,” he told PBS NewsHour’s Judy  Woodruff when she asked what happened Tuesday in Virginia, where  Democratic gubernatorial incumbent Terry McAuliffe went down to  Republican Glenn Youngkin.
 “This ‘defund the police’ lunacy, this ‘take  Abraham Lincoln’s name off of schools.’ I mean that … people see that.”
He explained that what he sees as wokeness “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  said. “They’re expressing a language that people just don’t use and  there’s backlash and a frustration at that.”
Youngkin,  who did not run ads attacking Democratic President Joe Biden, won in  suburban areas of Virginia where former president Donald Trump did not  win in 2020. Both of these facts were used on the Wednesday program to  highlight how local and individualized Youngkin’s strategy was.  
According to Carville, Youngkin “let the Democrats pull the pin and  watched the grenade go off.”
While the Republican challenger won  in Virginia, the Democratic incumbent in the New Jersey gubernatorial  race eked out a win after voters headed to the polls this week. Phil  Murphy will remain governor of New Jersey over Jack Ciattarelli.
