Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville launched a profanity-laced tirade over the weekend, predicting that Democrats will dominate the next two election cycles and defeat the GOP "motherf---ers."
According to Fox News, Carville used a brief video for his "Politics War Room" podcast to urge Democrats to adopt a kind of dark levity as a political weapon, insisting the party must lean into "gallows humor" and "laugh heartily" at Republicans as the midterm elections approach. He framed mockery as both a coping mechanism and a strategy, signaling that derision, not persuasion, is the lefts preferred tool against its opponents.
"I know we all got to get through this with difficult times, but never forget it's Mardi Gras," Carville said. "And never forget that if we don't develop a sense of, I don't know, you call it gallows humor, then the b----es have won." The veteran operative portrayed the political moment as a kind of carnival where anything goes, including vulgar attacks on fellow Americans whose chief offense is voting Republican.
He escalated from there, declaring, "But they're not gonna beat us because we're going to laugh at these motherf---ers and we're going to do it a lot, and we're gonna laugh heartily, and we're gonna laugh out loud and then were gonna beat their f---ing a--es come November and the November after that. God bless the United States of America. God bless the decent citizens that live in this country. And f--- all these a--holes in the White House." The outburst, aimed at political opponents and the current administration alike, underscores a coarse, hard-edged rhetoric that many on the left routinely excuse while condemning far milder language from conservatives.
Carville has been equally emphatic in print, writing in an October 2024 New York Times guest essay that he was "certain" former Vice President Kamala Harris would win the 2024 presidential election. "America, it will all be OK. Ms. Harris will be elected the next president of the United States. Of this, I am certain," Carville wrote, displaying a confidence that voters would again reject President Donald Trump and the populist agenda he represents.
He further argued, "I refuse to believe that the same country that has time and again overcome its mistakes to bend its future toward justice will make the same mistake twice. America overcame Mr. Trump in 2020. I know that we know we are better than this." In November, he went even further, proclaiming that he would wager money on Democrats seizing the White House, House, and Senate by 2028, saying, "I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that," and promising that "The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court."
For conservatives, Carvilles remarks highlight a Democratic establishment that not only assumes eventual one-party rule but openly talks of remaking institutions like the Supreme Court to cement its power. His confidence in permanent Democratic ascendancy, coupled with open contempt for Republican voters, serves as a reminder of what is at stake for those who still believe in constitutional limits, judicial independence, and a politics grounded in persuasion rather than profanity.
