James Carville warns that Trump’s victory would mean ‘the end of the Constitution’

James Carville, a veteran Democratic strategist who bet Monday that President Joe Biden will exit the presidential race after the disastrous debate in recent months against Donald Trump, argued Friday that a second Trump term would mean “the end of the Constitution.”

‘I think you’re going to see a destroyed NATO’ Carville said on Mediaite’s “Press Club” podcast. “We are going to express the values ​​of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. … They’re already telling you, that whole Project thing [2025]it’s almost predictable.”

Carville said implementing the right-wing policy manifesto, whose authors are former Trump advisers and current campaign aides, would be “so tragic and so against who we are as a country that it almost makes you want to laugh.”

Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director under Trump, warned Thursday that Project 2025 calls for replacing federal experts in key roles at vital agencies with MAGA loyalists. Trump recently claimed he “knew nothing” about the plan.

Carville responded bluntly on Friday when asked what he expects from another Trump term.

“Lawlessness on a scale beyond our comprehension,” the 79-year-old strategist said on the podcast. “They’re already coming out and saying they’re going to do it. Christian nationalism will gain a foothold in the courts. If Trump wins, he will turn everything over to them.”

‘I think this would mean the end of the Constitution. I really do,” he added. “I already see that we are starting to place people above the law. I have already seen where the Supreme Court justices are talking about the Comstock Act.”

The 151-year-old anti-obscenity law could be used to restrict abortion at the federal level, even in states that currently protect abortion access, if it is enforced to the extent that Trump and his pro-life base have already suggested they plan to do that.

Carville called out House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who believes creationist museums tell “the truth,” and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), who expressed support for Christian nationalism on Monday. for defending such intrusive policies. under the guise of religion.

Carville appears eager to see Biden replaced as the Democratic nominee, but also argued that “there is only one hope for America” — in a rallying cry to vote blue, no matter who.

“Because if we lose, we lose the Constitution,” he said Friday. “If you think these guys don’t care about freedom of speech – freedom of anything – you’re just not living in the world.”
