Political strategist James Carville published an op-ed in the Times titled “The Best Thing Democrats Can Do in This Moment.” His prescription is as follows: “With no clear leader to voice our opposition and no control in any branch of government, it’s time for Democrats to embark on the most daring political maneuver in the history of our party: roll over and play dead.”
Donald Trump and his cronies, Carville argues, have underestimated the American public’s tolerance for chaos, incompetence, and masculinity contests with other world leaders that may very well end in a crashed economy.
The best path, then, is to just wait while Trump still has some afterglow from the election until his approval numbers have tanked and then “make like a pack of hyenas and go for the jugular.” "the New Yorker"
