Former Democratic fundraiser and author Evan Barker joins Jimmy to mock AOC’s recent dismissal of the "woke" era as just an aberrant political phenomenon, pointing out that the movement she championed destroyed lives and drove voters to Trump. Citing journalist Lee Fang's career destruction as a prime example, Barker demands a full reckoning and disavowal from progressive leaders before the party can move forward.
She also rejects AOC's framing of the period as an overcorrection, insisting that "woke" politics was a conscious policy choice with real victims, not a simple mistake. The segment concludes that the Democratic Party's refusal to confront this damage has permanently alienated a generation of former supporters.
