Opinion | James Carville: The Best Thing Democrats Can Do in This Moment
Briefly

The article criticizes the Republican Party's inability to govern effectively despite its electoral successes. It highlights past administrations' failures, particularly under Trump and Bush, emphasizing how policies favored the wealthy while causing societal disorder. With Trump's focus on dismantling government and supporting an incompetent cabinet, the piece suggests that the consequences, including tax cuts and healthcare cuts, will lead to widespread discontent. It concludes with a call for Democrats to step back rather than futilely oppose, allowing the Republicans' failings to manifest without intervention.
"The Republican Party is all too often effective at campaigning and winning elections, but they flat out suck at governing," said an observer, highlighting the organizational challenges.
"President Trump is hellbent on dismantling the federal government, putting his faith in an incompetent cabinet that will result in disorder,” noted a political analyst.
"There will probably be more enormous tax cuts for the wealthy and Medicaid cuts hitting a lot of other people, which the American public despises," warned an economist.
"With no clear leader to voice our opposition... it’s time for Democrats to roll over and allow Republicans to crumble beneath their own weight,” a party strategist suggested.
