Donald Trump could be plotting to outlaw the Democratic Party in the wake of the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, according to one analyst.

CNN’s Jamal Simmons said recent comments made by Trump and the White House deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, were “absolutely a concern” regarding the future of the two-party system in the United States.

Appearing with Kaitlan Collins on The Source to discuss the political impact of Kirk’s assassination, Simmons said: “The president’s deputy chief of staff came out today and called the Democratic Party an extremist organization, after the president said that he was going to take action against extremist organizations. Therefore, the question arises in my mind: Is the president of the United States going to outlaw the Democratic Party? Is that where we’re headed?

    Hmmm.

    They really want political violence. They want it so bad they are forcing the conditions to occur. They just can’t accept that people far more rational than them don’t need violence.

    The next step is forcing all professionals to become members of the party, where the employed, housed, and cared for are members of the party.

    The heritage foundation is going full Nazi, and it seems to be ahead of schedule.

    This leads me to believe they are well aware of how much power they still lack. And they are getting wary of losing the power they do have. It makes me wonder… What moved up their time table?

    It wouldn’t happen to be anything that involves a bruise on Trump’s hand, posting AI videos of the president saying things, and long suddenly coherent tweets would it? They have a grenade with the pin pulled and if they let go they have a few seconds for it to be anywhere else than where they currently are.

    We certainly live in interesting times.

      They’re pushing the schedule ahead as fast as possible because Trump is literally dying. He probably had a stroke and has obviously been getting infusions. It won’t be long before they announce, “he had a bad fall.”

      This is interesting. I understand the “techno fascist” wing has also stepped things up as their boy is about to take the reins. This is evidenced by the VP moving into high visibility positions and trying to look respectable.

      But I wouldn’t have any direct knowledge.

      honestly i wouldnt be surprised if hes already brain dead in a closet at mar-a-lago already, and they are using his likeness through AI to keep MAGA in power like how the Emperor from 40k keeps warp travel possible, and thus the empire “intact”

        When you listen to him speak you can tell it is more often than not off of the teleprompter. He is losing his mind such as it was. He is falling asleep during televised meetings. Back in 2020 he was talking shit off the top of his head, now he is just running on auto dick.

            Clearly you don’t understand trickle-down economics.

            Just accept that it is the highest good and let the adults talk. We’ll buy you some overpriced plastic miniatures to play with. Because we care about humanity.
