Democrat strategist James Carville took a look at some polls of the upcoming general election, and the Ragin’ Cajun used the opportunity to berate younger voters dissatisfied with both options.
“So, I hear this a lot… ‘James, young voters are just not into this. It’s two candidates, one’s in their 80s, one is almost in their 80s, they’re concerned about things that Washington politicians, and you just can’t blame them for–‘ Oh, s***, f*** you,” Carville said Sunday on a podcast.
Carville urged the Democrat Party strategists to “tell these young people to get off your motherfucking ass and go vote because you should vote like your entire future and the entire future of this United States depends on it because quite frankly, it does — and that’s not an exaggeration.”
He concluded by scaremongering about the possibility of a second term for Donald Trump… and calling some conservative judges “illegitimate whores.”
“There will be no government left. There will be no rights left, You will live under theocracy. You’ll end up with Christian nationalism. But that’s all right, you little f***ing 26-year-old. You don’t feel like the election’s important,” Carville said.
“If you’re 26, do you see what they’re doing? First of all, they’re gonna take every right that you could possibly have away from you,” Carville said. “Are you watching what is happening in the Supreme Court?… The Supreme Court has out of nothing getting ready to create immunity for one person, Donald Trump. Now, I am hardly a scholar of the American Revolution and the founding, but I do know this: One of the principles of the founding of the United States of America was that no person was above the law.”
Legacy media have been running a new round of pieces on the possible shape of a second term for Trump.
On Monday, The New York Times‘ flagship podcast posted an episode called “Trump 2.0: What A Second Trump Presidency Would Bring,” described as the first installment in a planned series. The podcast aired some reporting by — of course — the anti-Trump reporter Maggie Haberman.
Critics questioned the effect of Carville’s rant, and some of them have accused Carville of dissuading younger voters by insulting them.
Then again, Carville himself is 79. What young person is going to listen?
