NewsNation host Chris Cuomo argued Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris because of voter backlash against excessive liberal ideology.
Trump’s election victory was fueled partly by increased support from Hispanic and black men. Cuomo, on “The Chris Cuomo Project,” suggested voters cast their ballots for Trump over Harris based on “a gross violation of norms” that they find “unacceptable.”

“You are forcing new social norms on people in this country. ‘No, I’m not, we’re just doing what’s fair. Trans people have rights too.’ Yes, but if it’s communicated as if you must be forced to accept and be indoctrinated with ideas that you do not share — is that fair? ‘That’s not what we were doing.’ That’s how they felt you were treating them about it,” Cuomo said. “That’s the women in sports thing. It’s not that it happens a lot, like immigrant crime. It’s not that it happens a lot. It’s that the fact that it happens at all, to them, is a gross violation of norms and unacceptable. And you find it okay, and they believe that is wokeism run amok.”
“What is woke? They don’t even know what it is. Here’s what they believe it is, and it just won the presidential election,” he continued. “The economy won the presidential election, and concerns that all go under the umbrella of wokeism — which, to people who voted for Trump, is a set of ideas that messes with traditional values, but more importantly, new ideas that are being forced on them to make their own, even if they don’t agree.”
Cuomo asserted lenient immigration policies are an example of “wokeism” that voters rejected.
“We don’t have an open border, but it does meet that suggestion. And politics is about hyperbole. Politics is about persuasion. Politics is about using perception as a hedge against reality, and perception generally wins,” he said. “So when you undo what was working and allow people to flood through, you feed into the idea that you want it that way. And then you get the Great Replacement Theory and all this other bullshit. But it is an extension of what they see as wokeism.”
“Yes, it’s also national security. It’s also immigration on its own. But it is this exaggerated liberalism, this exaggerated laxity, this exaggerated relaxing of law and order for some other value system,” he added. “Trans is that. Censorship is that.”
Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Wednesday also criticized Democrats for their “open border” policy, arguing it made numerous voters “very angry” and contributed significantly to Harris’ defeat.
Moreover, Democratic strategist James Carville on Wednesday noted “the woke era” was a factor that hurt Democrats in this election.
“We got beyond it, but … the image stuck in people’s minds that the Democrats wanted to defund the police, that they wanted to empty prisons,” he said. “You know, the immigration stuff, obviously again a big mistake, but more importantly, it created to the perception of disorder.”
Well he is not fundamentally wrong, just a little to narrow in scope.
If they had run yet another neocon Bush acolyte they’d have gotten smoked by the woke fools. GOP has to look within every bit as much as the dems, because they did as much as anyone to kneecap Trump in his first go around and nobody really likes them, truthfully.
The fad has passed?

Of course he can't admit to that -- he was one of the administrators of it.
That was his brother.....................
Kamala who?............I seem to remember an elephant named Kamala...........
Oh, and both were woke communists.
I wanted Payback for the
2020 Steal and the ‘Plandemic.’
Oh.
All these liberals look alike.
Then why were you pushing wokeism so hard when you had your TV show Chris?
He’s right. The Dems have gone too far left, and hysterically. The GOP has moved toward center, and I anticipate the Dems doing the same to get back in the game.
They do....................
Actors and comedians in the 50's and 60's made well-known movies with cross-dressing. Everybody figured a lot of actors were gay. There were drag queens when I was a teenager (60's).
Nobody cared, it was all okay, because they were adults and they kept it among the adults.
I totally second your comments about Do Not Go After The Kids.
I don’t recall his exact words but a few years ago Boy George called the pronoun fetish something to the extent of ‘attention seeking nonsense’ and he is someone who should know a bit about attention seeking.
I don’t know how I’d explain my agreement with Boy George to my 80’s self...
It’s all the above, you amoeba.
That's sage advice for the GOP. Sadly, too many of them have been shameless looters like the democrats, feathering their beds on the taxpayer's dime.
When need a thorough purge throughout our govt... Not just the Swamp, but the entire Blob.
What sane person wants to entrust the future of his/her children to a gaggle of goofballs who don't know what a woman is and want DEI hires piloting airplanes?????
