Political strategists, voters

Well, howdy there internet people, it's Beau again.
So today we are going to talk about the Republican party,
their strategy moving into 2024,
and how they may have miscalculated
and how a single term may end up causing them
a lot of problems because they put a lot of weight
behind something and invested a lot of political capital
capital into talking about something, and polling suggests they have chosen poorly.
In a recent poll, 56% of Americans had a positive view of the term woke, and they understood
it to mean to be informed, educated on, and aware of social injustices.
Only 39% had the negative view of to be overly politically correct and police others' words.
That spells trouble for the Republican Party.
Many of their leading contenders, many of the candidates that they want to field in
2024 have put their entire political presence behind being anti-woke.
And according to polling, that is only going to resonate with 39% of Americans and 56%
going to view somebody who cast themselves as being anti-woke, as being
anti-justice. This move by the Republican Party to latch on to this term and use
this as their catch-all appears to be backfiring in a big way. You can't win
In an election, if your entire basis is being anti-woke, and that only appeals to 39% of
the voters, and 56% would view you being anti-woke as a bad thing, the culture war that Republicans
have launched, it doesn't appear to be providing the gains that they thought it would.
It doesn't appear to be shifting the thought of the average American.
The majority of Americans have a positive view of the term and many candidates are staking
their entire political futures on being against something that most Americans view as a positive
thing.
As they push more and more different elements of society into the umbrella of woke, they'll
up alienating more and more people.
This poll is very telling.
It's something that later on Republican strategists will probably look at and say,
we should have altered course here.
The thing is, the candidates that they have that they're pushing forward, many of them
are way too locked in to the culture war.
way too locked in to this terminology to be able to shift. It's already too late
in the game for those candidates. The idea that most Americans view being
woke as a positive thing and have a positive definition attached to that
term, that can only be a good thing for society. That can only be a good thing
for justice. It can only be a good thing for the hope of real progress in a
country that has felt like it's been going backwards. This poll is something
to be pretty hopeful about.
And it certainly should encourage the Democratic Party to take even more progressive positions
because when they get called woke for those positions, 56% of Americans will have a positive
definition assigned to that term.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Have a good day.
