Democratic strategist James Carville argued that political actors in his party should “play possum” right now, as grassroots organizing pops up across the country, noting that the “freight train is moving.”
Carville joined MSNBC’s “The Beat” on Monday, where host Ari Melber asked him to weigh into the nationwide protests against the Trump administration and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“This is happening all around the country. So, the question is, how should Democratic politicians respond to this? And I think they should do is, what we call in rural America, play possum. Just let it go. Don’t get in the way of it, or as we like to say, don’t just stand there, do nothing,” Carville said. “Let this germinate.”
Carville said Democrats don’t need to get in front of the American people because they are already demonstrating on their own.

He likes hearing himself talk and lazy reporters don’t have to lift a finger to report this as news and take another day off from actual journalism.
“Carville being an idiot again”
As a party, do you REALLY want to be the ones out there holding signs and demonstrating AGAINST rooting out fraud and corruption?
Hey, DUMBASS...they are PROTESTING IN THE STREETS!
Over 60% of the American people are in favor of booting out illegals and cutting the size of government.
Carville and Matalin a pair of grifters is there ever was one.
The whole problem with the Demon party is that they are angry psychos who cannot act rationally. They’ve ALWAYS got to attack.
Keep your heads down or we will (politically) chop them off.
Yep, he continues to be an idiot. He did see what was coming but he’s far too optimistic on the protests making a difference. The majority of people see them as brain dead malcontents.
I like them better when they play H.Y.E.N.A.s howling at the moon and chomping on their hand painted, misspelled signs.
Carville is a ‘RAT 🐁 🐁🐁 🐁 AND a SNAKE 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
The fact those two are married shows what an absolute scam Washington, D.C.
FAKE opposition Republicans.
Isn’t a former Republican Chairman on MSNBC now denouncing DOGE? He’s on the take.
They’re ALL on the take.
Look for the names to come out who profiteered off of this system.
Audit first.
Indict second.
ALL of them need to go.
If millions pocketed dead grannies Social Security check - federal fraud - no more voting in federal elections.
We can clean house in Congress and knock out a couple million Dem voters from this.
>> And I think they should do is, what we call in rural America, play possum.
Oh please. Carville is a coon-ass... he kills and eats possum poseurs.
And MAGA should do the same to DemonRat possum-poseurs!
NO MERCY
Along with evil, wicked, intelligent, sly, and cunning.
The lying ass media is jumping on it.
Here in raleigh they had hundreds protesting yesterday. During covid we had thousands protesting the lockdowns!
The protests are as fake as the Fed books. Same old rent a mob protesters the unions put together every time they need a protest.
All 15 of them were out there yesterday in my town holding signs in sub-zero weather and stoking the engine of the freight train. 🚂🚃🚃🚃
‘Possums don’t choose to “play ‘possum.” It’s a neurological response to serious stress. It’s a last resort, in an effort to not be killed. It doesn’t always work. The Democrats could wake up dead.
I will say.. as a strategist, I AGREE with him.
Rooting out corruption and downsizing gov is massively popular with people.
Being against that and holding demonstrations, is BAD optics. and drives people away from the party.
It is far better to, if not “get on board” and be part of the solution.
To stand back, let it all play out and then start slamming for going too far, hurting old ladies and diabled children by cutting the health care or checks, etc..
