Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville melted down in a video on Thursday, whining that he had descended into a “very, very dark tunnel” following President Donald Trump’s landslide victory.
Following the lead of his fellow Democrats, Carville blamed the American people for being too gullible and/or stupid to see through the “s—t” and vote against Trump.

In a video published for Politicon on Thursday, Carville claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris had “every advantage” — citing her record-setting campaign fundraising haul, celebrity endorsements, and help on the campaign trail from former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — but all of those supposed advantages were not enough to secure victory.
“I have to reevaluate,” he complained. “I’m sure I’ll come up with something to make me feel good again, but right now, today, it’s hard, I’ll be honest with you. And the hardest thing is that I look across this country and tens of millions of people fell for this s—t, and it’s depressing.”
Of course, when he claimed that he needed to “reevaluate,” Carville did not mean that he would be reexamining the Democrats’ policy positions or trying to figure out where Harris went wrong in her campaign — instead, like the vast majority of leftists, reevaluating means that he’s going to think even harder about how evil and dumb more than half of the country supposedly is.
The longtime Democrat strategist then went on to attack the Americans who dared to vote for Trump, claiming that they had chosen to vote for a “felonious bigot” despite the costs because he would give them something they wanted: order.
“We had every advantage, but we had the perception of disorder on every kind of level, border policy, foreign policy, economic policy. At the end of the day, it seems to me that the operative word here is that people want order and will pay anything to have order,” Carville said.
“I’ll snap out of it, but I’m in a very, very dark tunnel right now,” he added.
Carville warned Democrats ahead of the election that too much emphasis on “wokeness” would be detrimental to their chances of winning, yet at the same time joined the radical left in demonizing Trump and his supporters as “Nazis” without even considering the effect that those smears could have on the election.
