Part 5/8:
A substantial part of the dialogue revolved around social and cultural issues that have emerged in recent years. The participants discussed how sentiments surrounding “woke” culture, particularly related to topics like transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, had reverberated within the electorate. Carville and Morgan suggested that voters were increasingly irritated by the disconnect between progressive ideologies and what they deemed common sense. The progressive agenda was painted as “goofy academic language” divorced from the pressing concerns faced by citizens, highlighting a perceived need for a more grounded approach.
