Democratic strategist James Carville said that he has descended into a “very, very dark tunnel” in the aftermath of Tuesday’s presidential election, suggesting that the American people were, at best, too gullible — and at worst, too stupid — to see through the “s***” and vote against former President Donald Trump.
Carville made the comments in a video published for Politicon on Thursday, and he argued that Vice President Kamala Harris had “every advantage” — from campaign cash and celebrity endorsements to vocal support from popular former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — but that at the end of the day, it had simply not been enough to get her across the finish line.

“I have to reevaluate,” Carville said. “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***, and it’s depressing.”

Carville went on to suggest that the American people had weighed the costs and ultimately decided it was worth voting for a “felonious bigot” if the trade-off gave them something they wanted: namely, 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,” he said.
“I’ll snap out of it, but I’m in a very, very dark tunnel right now,” Carville added.
The longtime Democratic strategist warned ahead of the election that too much focus on “wokeness” would hurt the party — but joined several Democrats and members of the media who openly attacked Trump and his supporters as “Nazis.”
