Democratic political strategist James Carville blamed his party's recent losses and weak performance in state elections on "stupid wokeness" on Wednesday.
"PBS NewsHour" host Judy Woodruff asked Carville what went wrong for the Democratic Party in the Virginia gubernatorial race in which Republican Glenn Youngkin beat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
"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 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 don't use, and there's backlash and a frustration at that."
Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy narrowly eked out a reelection victory on Wednesday, another indication of Democrats diminishing strength in state elections.
Carville said that suburbanites in Virginia and New Jersey "pulled away" from such "wokeness". He pointed out that Youngkin never ran any ads against President Biden and suggested that the Republican candidate had simply allowed the Democrats to "pull the pin and watch the grenade go off."...

Finally, some truth from a prominent Democrat over what is going on.
“Stupid wokeness”
Isn’t he saying that they lost because of what they are?
Or maybe because they went public with what they are?
Ole trashcan haid ...
Snakehead is partly correct on this. He should also have mentioned Critical Race Theory.
The comments at The Hill are scary. There are a lot of unhinged would-be tyrants out there. They really do believe that the future is far left.
He’s saying that “woke” people are a few fries short of a Happy Meal and that Democrats are afraid to confront the problem.
Well apparently old snakehead, (h/t Rush), wasn’t in the dem advisory loop, too bad so sad.
He’s still trying to coast through the TV business on his good looks.
In his rather innocent era (long past) the Dems tried to grab power.
Now they want to grab power and destroy every facet of American culture, religious freedom, constitutional law and government, stripping away freedom of speech and association in the process, replacing them with Marxism.
From bad to worse.
Because they said the quiet parts out loud.
A little dog pulled back the curtain.
Only thing democrat politicians care about is power, and the money that comes with it.
Yo Jimmy! You should embrace wokeness. Have you got all of your pronouns in order?
Yep, Snakehead tells it like it is when the Dems lose, he’s old school.
Never interfere when your enemy is busy destroying himself.
In the end Brandon may prove to be the worst thing that ever happened to the democrat party.
Prominent?!?!? He has been inconsequential for several years. Those morons have bought into AOC, Omar, Obama, Jarett, Warren, and Sanders. They’re doubling down again. I sure hope there’s not a Popcorn shortage in our horizon....
DU is no better.
They HATE Winsome Sears.
Anyone hear from AOC today? :-)
I’m guessing he provided his insight and strategy and “they” didn’t want to hear it. He’s pulling an, “I told you so” to be in demand again.
