Veteran strategist James Carville argued during a podcast episode that Democrats are “overwhelmed” and that he has not figured out a way the party can combat the flurry of news President Trump has made since returning to the White House.

“Bannon is right. We are flooded in s— and we are searching for a way to deal with this. These are extraordinarily difficult times,” Carville said Thursday on the “Politics War Room” podcast which he co-hosts with Al Hunt.

Carville was referencing former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s quote from 2018 when he said “the way to deal with [the media] is to flood the zone with s—.”

And that is what Obama and company did as well. Just fling as much poo out there as humanly possible with no way for everyone to keep up

They can sideline all those who decided to give Harris the VP nod or continue to lose.

Boo hoo Democrats lost an election after enjoying 4 years of cramming through their radical liberal policies. Grow up you clowns. Try not to be blithering idiots maybe next time you won't get your ass whooped.

Only a racist does not want to have the first black female in US history, although Obama was technically the first.

‘The first month of the second Trump presidency has put the lie to the widespread wisdom that Donald Trump has no ideology and no ideas, only an insatiable thirst for power and money. Trump has shown that he has ideas. So many ideas. They are just really bad ideas:

The United States can own, ethnically cleanse and redevelop Gaza as a luxury resort. The U.S. will buy Greenland and take possession of the Panama Canal. The government will become more efficient by cutting the Department of Education, U.S.A.I.D., medical and science research and many, many jobs. D.E.I. caused the collision of an Army helicopter and a passenger plane in the air near Washington, D.C. Immigrants and transgender people are an existential threat to Americans. The president can and should rule by decree. These are all ideas, in the sense that they are opinions, beliefs or expressions of a possible course of action.
[…]
Flooding the ether with bad ideas isn’t Trump’s unique know-how — it’s standard autocratic fare. Hannah Arendt used the word “preposterous” to describe the ideas that underpinned 20th-century totalitarian regimes. Bad ideas do a lot of the work of building autocracy. By forcing us to engage with them, they make our conversations, our media and our society dumber. By conjuring the unimaginable — radical changes in the geography of human relationships, the government and the world itself as we have known it — they plunge us into an anxious state in which thinking is difficult. That kind of anxiety is key to totalitarian control.’

Opinion | The Barrage of Trump’s Awful Ideas Is Doing Exactly What It’s Supposed To

Amid an onslaught of bad ideas, Democrats need to muster a better vision for the future.

Trump’s bad ideas, ridiculous proposals, and idiotic agenda serve also to deflect from actual, serious issues Trump is incapable of addressing – rather than talking about improving education or ensuring Americans have access to affordable healthcare, we are instead talking about Greenland, the Panama Canal, and diversity causing helicopter crashes.

"Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.

Earlier this week, internet search trends for "Criminal Defense Lawyer" and "RICO Laws" went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington's political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE's efforts to neuter USAID's funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.. . .

I can understand how you don't like making America the greatest, most powerful, and most prosperous country in the world.

I used to be a liberal just like yourself.

Trumpy has no competition in the area of ideas. Democrats have none. So, all Trumpy can do is point that out and continue to let Democrats make fools of themselves. The sad part is, Democrats stand on the sidewalk chanting juvenile slogans and proclaiming to be at war with the vast majority, and they don't see that they're acting like retarded, spoiled children. "Hey ho Elon gotta go" Where did they get that from, Dr. Suess?

So in other words, a humble building contractor has somehow managed to render the entire Democrat party into a mass of babbling idiots.

That was a pretty neat trick.

Carville can't see the forest for the trees. The overwhelming amount of s_ the Democrats are having to deal with is the result from the public's disfavor over the crap they themselves are peddling.
