Veteran political strategist James Carville is very frustrated about the Democrats’ increasingly bleak political fortunes as well as a failure by the base to rally around deeply unpopular President Joe Biden, and in a candid moment, suggested that the party isn’t instilling enough fear to accomplish its objectives.

This week, Carville appeared on MSNBC where he discussed Dem disunity that could result in the end of one-party rule in Washington, D.C., after a mere two years as backlash builds against their aggressive “woke” agenda and the catastrophic results of Biden’s far-left policies that have brought record gas prices and crushing inflation to the nation.

During his conversation with host Ari Melber on Tuesday’s edition of “The Beat,” the “Ragin Cajun” bemoaned the lack of an intimidating factor in his party’s style of governance.

“I was in Georgia last night campaigning and said if you watched the way they treated now Justice Jackson, if you look at that, if you look at what the Supreme Court is really getting ready to do, if that don’t motivate you, I don’t know what does,” Carville said, stoking fear that the nation’s highest court will soon rule against leftist priorities, possibly referring to Roe v. Wade.

“And the problem that Democrats have, Ari, is no one fears us,” he exclaimed. “They look and they say they’re not gonna do anything about it cause they just gonna squabble with each other so the Supreme Court does what it wants to, these state legislatures, they pass any restricted voting law they want because they have learned over a period of time it doesn’t matter.”

“They’re weak, and all they’re gonna do is talk bad about each other,” Carville said. “You can’t govern without fear.”

Carville remains a major voice in Democrat Party politics three decades after he became famous for engineering Bill Clinton’s shocking 1992 upset of George H.W. Bush as well as the man who coined the famous “it’s the economy stupid” slogan that has been credited for putting Slick Willie into the White House.

Twitter users reacted to Carville after he let the cat out of the bag about such intimidation tactics and the use of fear as a political tool.

While Carville seemed to be suggesting tactics that strike terror into the hearts of their adversaries, many Democrats are already playing the fear card to motivate their demoralized base, including socialist diva Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who tried to scare attendees at a recent town hall in her New York City congressional district that the January 6, 2021 “insurrection” was only a “trial run” and “democracy” is in peril if Republicans take back the House in November.

The imminent “death of democracy” if Democrats are ousted from power has already been in heavy rotation with their shills in the media who have been hammering the talking points for weeks but the constant fearmongering has lost its edge with many who have tuned out as the economic woes from Biden’s disastrous regime have transcended party lines, battering all Americans who are looking for competent governance and not the fear that Carville is calling for.

What Democrats really fear is their extinction as a viable political entity, a distinct possibility for a party whose icons of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy have had their ideals replaced by vicious, power-hungry authoritarians who have complete disdain for American principles.

  1. Without Fear, Hate, Blame and Racism – Democrats could not run for office. It is all they have-because all of their outdated and failed policies do not work – as we are seeing today with the highest prices for everything and the highest inflation in 43 years. Every 2 year election cycle they create a “Boogeyman” or false narrative to hate or blame for EVERYTHING. Granny is going to lose her Social Security, War on Women, Russia, Russia Russia and now Putin, Putin, Putin. And it works every time with their dumbed down and government dependent voters.

  2. I fear dems and have for a long time because they are and have been communists in hiding for a very long time. If they ever get rid of the 2nd amendment you can look for them to send in the military, WHETHER IT IS CONSTITUTIONAL OR NOT, for the final knockout blow to this country.

  3. Carville is a sick, demented, twisted, hateful ideologue. He’s said some extremely vile and vitriolic things over the years that are much worse than anything Trump or his people have ever uttered.

  4. How about, they just make us sick?

    What is Carville trying to stir up here? A “Final Solution” to the dems “conservative” problem? I’ve been waiting for this. And, here we are. I guess he would start by re-opening the old Japanese Internment (CONCENTRATION) Camps. There may also be a few German American, and Italian American camps still standing. Hell! FDR did it! Why not FJB?

  5. Carville is living in the wrong country. He is a democrat strategist and knows nothing about democratic ideas!!

    1. Maybe, he does. Maybe, this is the dems future plan to resolve the dems “conservative” problem. A “Final Solution” if you will.

  8. The Democratic party has aways used fear or the implication of fear for decades, Carville is just admitting it. NO SURPRISE! History: Franklin D Roosevelt said “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Rahm Emanuel “let’s make sure this crisis doesn’t go to waste”. What a country! Fear, calling opposition – traitor , false acquisitions – un-American. HONESTLY takes a vacation on campaign trail. I predict, it will be extremely difficult to find a lawyer in heaven, why would you need one?

  9. Can’t govern w/o fear?!? What kind of governing is that? Our government is supposed to be WORKING FOR us not working to scare us! No wonder Dems are so crazy when all their elders are brain-dead despots!

  10. Car Iole is an angry, unhinged, mean old germ living on 30 year old accomplishments.

  11. The dems are stupid like carvell skelator. They couldn’t govern an ant farm with out ‘f’ing it up!

  13. Carville is wrong. We Americans live in daily fear of the Democrats and what new and unneeded laws they will foist upon us to make our lives miserable, more costly, and tear down the moral structure this country was built upon. We have remained the Silent Majority too long, and we are in dire straits. Anyone who dares to stand up and be counted for freedom is destroyed by the (fascist) leftists and Blue Check “liberals” (who haven’t resembled real liberalism in decades) who are so certain they know what’s good for us better than we do, and are determined to force their views upon us whether we agree or not.

    We need people who will stand up for our freedoms, for the limited government that our Founders envisioned, and will break the hold of lunatic left on our country. Can we find enough people with that kind of courage before it is too late?

  14. I fear if I took one of those DNA test, Nancy Pelosi could turn out to be my dad. Now that is fear, not the lunatics of the left.

  15. Fear you? It’s well documented that you are the party of misfits, ner do wells, bottom feeders, morally bankrupt, snow flakes who I sure as hell don’t fear. I do however fear your mental incapacities and don’t know why there isn’t a bounty out on you.

  16. Besides the fact that this POS actually looks like Alien (the UFO kind) he’s also a focking SCUMBAG !

  19. They didn’t fail, it’s all part of the plan to destroy this country. They are succeeding.

  20. I do believe people DO FEAR the DEMOcrats and THAT is why they are abandoning them! They FEAR they won’t have enough FOOD fOR their family or enough gas to get to work or enough energy to heat and/or cool their homes or even a FUTURE if the dems continue to push for war with Russia! Some might even FEAR that their little ones will come home from school missing some appendages!

  22. James Carville,It appears that in the past people may have given you credit for being intelligent and having a strong degree of political knowledge but your comment in this article prove you have lost all that.It is like the bully you used to have when you were in school who would threaten you and even hit you and take your lunch money and then one day you became tired of it and decided enough is enough and stood your ground and guess what no more bully and no fear. Your party has been this bully for a long time now and I believe in the mid-term election you will see the American People stand up to it, as it is just that simple, watch and see.

    Semper Fi 1969-1989

    2. Carville’s intelligence has diminished as the internet expands access to THE TRUTH!!

    3. He ALWAYS was an AZZHOLE………Now he’s just an OLD WASHED UP LOSER AZZHOLE !
