Democratic strategist James Carville argued the “very existence of the United States” is at stake in this presidential election as he urged people to warn their Republican friends that they could wind up in “jail” if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House.
In a video for Politicon, Carville dismissed concerns over Vice President Kamala Harris and her policies to argue that a vote in this election is a vote for or against the Constitution.
“One candidate says we should follow the Constitution, we should keep the Constitution, we should try to improve the Constitution, and the other candidate says, I’m going to rip the Constitution up, I don’t care about the Constitution, I don’t care about people’s individual rights, I’m going to arrest political opponents. That is correct, just so you know that. This is not an exaggeration,” he said.
Carville blasted supporters of Trump who chalk up some of the former president’s talk to performance, including repeatedly talking about the possibility to retribution against political opponents if he’s back in the White House.
“He is telling you right to your stupid fucking face that he is going to use the military to arrest and suppress his political opponents,” Carville said. “But I’m sure that I and everybody else that does this for a living is going to get asked, well, what about the swing voters in such and such a state. You know what they can all swing from? The end of a rope, alright? That’s what they’re coming for.”
He urged Democrats and others opposed to Trump to call and email and confront their Trump-supporting friends.
“You better pay attention and every time you have somebody who is a friend of yours, somebody says, well, I’m going to vote for Trump, [you say], just so you know what you’re voting for, do you really want me to go to jail?” Carville said. “Because that’s what you’re voting for. He’s telling you.”
