Lisa McClain (R-MI), said Republican voters were just too happy with how things are going to get to the polls. But one columnist says the explanation for the blue wave is quite simple: "Woke won." In an op-ed for the SF Gate, Drew Magary explained that voters "spent eight months living in a woke-free America and collectively decided, 'We don't want this.'""
"Money once used to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement will now be used to give millennials free avocado toast. More public office positions will be held by people with names that are only hard to pronounce if you don't spend 20 seconds learning how to pronounce them. Democratic representation will be granted to people this country usually treats like dirt. Poor people will be granted access to more affordable housing."
Republican candidates suffered decisive losses in recent off-year elections, prompting a range of explanations from party figures. Some officials offered implausible reasons for the defeats while many voters favored progressive positions labeled as 'woke.' The return of 'woke' politics energized turnout and produced a blue wave. Satirical examples of likely progressive policies include reallocating ICE funds, expanded affordable housing, increased public transit, more diverse officeholders, and recognition of pronouns. The political struggle remains unsettled, with Republicans retaining control in some areas and centrist institutions limiting rapid progressive change.
