Carville is not revelant as he's attacked various progressive democrats for decades. Color me surprised that Carville of all people is receiving grace. Perhaps white progressives should check with Black Americans about guys like Carville who have never supported fairness for all.

Friends, I'm trying to come to terms with so many progressive podcasters that are now for some reason quoting James Carville comments. Even on IHIP news are giving some flowers to this out of touch political hack.
Carville just a year ago warned the Demos about being Woke and DEI. So he's quoted?

The right wing in this country consists of cells. This is how they were able to orchestrate their insurrection on J6. This movement is highly organized. Does this surprise you? It definitely should frighten you. The orange man with yellow hair is there to distract you. Let’s get on the same page.

At a certain level of wealth, political differences no longer matter. The uber wealthy all get along with each other because they are principally driven by protecting their wealth and privilege.

I’m sorry for the National Guards who are only following orders.
Objectively, had the President not called them to serve as law enforcement officers, this tragedy would never have happened.
They seek to demagogue their way out of their own culpability.

Terrorism or Vengeance?
When the US pulled out of Afghanistan many Afghans who worked alongside them were offered TPS to keep them safe from execution by the Taliban.
But in July the Trump administration ended Afghan TPS, putting 11K Afghan refugees in the US at risk of deportation and death.

Gutting US counterterrorism and federal law enforcement capacity was a bad idea.
Sorry to get so partisan. I know the president wants to see more political violence in the US, and thinks it's important for federal forces to prioritize crackdowns on nonviolent, noncriminal migrants. I just disagree.

America is an INCREDIBLY violent country. Both internally and externally.
I am not sure what is meant by statements like this.
It just isn’t true. Maybe it’s aspirational. Maybe they mean violence SHOULD have no place.
But as it is, it clearly does. Front and center, and constantly.
