The Left has once again misinterpreted the culture of the American voter. Now that woke campaigns and candidates are losing, they are looking for scapegoats. They can start by looking in the mirror.

FNC: “As liberals shy away from the word ‘woke,’ the media has blamed Republicans’ negative use of the term for its downfall. What actually happened to ‘woke’ may be more complicated, and cause problems for Democrats in coming elections.

After the results of the Virginia election, Democrat strategist James Carville blamed ‘stupid wokeness’ for his party’s disappointing loss. In an interview with PBS Newshour, the long-time Democrat strategist said that some of his party’s ultra-progressive policies had a ‘suppressive effect across the country on Democrats. Some of these people need to go to a woke detox center or something,’ he added.”

As soon as the woke start losing we see the very same people who redefined the term "white supremacy" to include everything from standards of professionalism (pic 1) to Dave Chappelle's comedy routines (pic 2), pretend to have a problem with people redefining words.

In 2018 NPR said it was time to put the term “woke” to sleep because of the “muddling” of the definition. “Words that begin with a very specific meaning, used by a very specific group of people, over time become shorthand for our politics, and eventually move from shorthand to linguistic weapon. Or in the case of woke, a linguistic eye-roll,” the leftist mouthpiece said.

A New York Times writer declared that “Republicans want to recast ‘wokeness’ as progressive politics run amok,” saying the term “has been referred to in the most hyperbolic language imaginable, from ideology to religion to cult. No wonder young people are abandoning the word. Opponents to the idea are seeking to render it toxic.”

The Guardian sought to explain “How the word ‘woke’ was weaponized by the right,” saying the word is “used as a stick … often wielded by those who don’t recognize how un-woke they are, or are proud of the fact.” And a Washington Post columnist claimed “the word ‘woke’ once meant something, kind of. But now it’s just an empty, all-purpose insult hurled by conservative propagandists, anti-vaccine fabulists, lazy journalists and people who don’t want to know our history.”  They’re losing the argument and now blame the lexicon. Quel dommage.

Conservative writer David Marcus has an answer for them. “You go back 12, 13 years … it was definitely something that people on the left would use in an approving way,” he said in an interview. “There are all of these companies whose job it is to go into schools and corporations and do these anti-racist woke trainings. I just think that the term has become associated with something that a lot of people now see as corrupt or involved with some sort of perverse interests in terms of the money that can be made through it. I think that especially people who are running in tighter races are going to have to address the excesses. They’re going to have to find a middle ground. If the Democrats don’t find a way to address this and reel it back in a little bit, I think they’re going to be in trouble.” They already are.
