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?
I remember a whole lot of dipshit “independents”, Enlightened Centrists, and not a few liberals/leftists calling people out all over the place for supposedly violating Godwin’s Law. And that’s not only back in 2015 and 2016.
These scolds who are way too occupied with being Tone Police were saying that even AFTER Godwin himself said this:
In 2023, Godwin published an opinion in The Washington Post stating “Yes, it’s okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don’t let me stop you.”[20] In the article, Godwin says “But when people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy.”[21]
And now look where we are. Thank goodness a lot of these assholes abstained from voting because they didn’t have an appropriately pretty pony being promised to them…
Ah yes, because that’s definitely related to Kirk.
This incident does not give them cause to do that. I suspect in 2027 there will be indictments handed down for false boat rigging allegations to democratic party members however.
I mean, don’t fling us into that thar briar patch.
Finally!
—Lemmy leftists probably
I mean, we both agree that the Democratic party should not exist as it is today but for veeeeeeeeeery different reasons
Why stop there, just make decency a crime.
Well, it’s at least a fireable offense. Didn’t Hegseth go out of his way to fire some woman who dared to put - gasp! - pronouns on her profile?
Hey good thing we saved up all that decorum though right!
More like santorum
You can reuse the santorum, it’s much more useful.
TIL! I’ve just been throwing mine away after
We’re getting so close to being the old German Nazi party. This time controlled by zionists. I wonder who we’ll murder?
the nazis copied many of its policies from US segration laws.
They’re pretty obviously planning on murdering the homeless, and disabled first. They are planning on putting large amounts of Latinos in concentration camps and are going to start doing the same with political rivals.
They’re pretty obviously planning on murdering the homeless, and disabled first.
And political opposition,dissidents, intellectuals, unionists, critics, wtc.
i wonder
Really?
no not really.
Zionists are not controlling the New Nazi Party, that’s absurd. Just like the original Nazi party, our New Nazi party are financially supporting Zionists in Palestine because Zionism happens to align with Nazi ideology when it comes to the belief that all Jews should be deported from the US and live somewhere else.
Is that why we’re funding the war on gaza and beating up protestor in the Us who says anything against the Israeli governments policies? I dont think your theory matches reality.
Who’s we?
Are they actually Zionists or is that just their excuse to steal power? Just kinda feels like they don’t actually care about anyone but themselves.
unpopular opinion: Republicans are using Jews the same way Democrats used trans people - as pawns they pretend to care about, then use as an excuse to attack their opponents. Jews will be left holding the bag, the way trans people were. this is the danger of letting fake allies speak for you.
Jews will be left holding the bag
And it will be their fault. After two years of genocide being committed in the open in their names, they still overwhelmingly support the state of Israel.
And to be clear, while they’re happy to use “antisemitism” as a rhetorical tool of suppression, they don’t even pretend to care about Jews. They are openly and happily in bed with neo-nazis and white-supremacists, they don’t even pretend to care about that. Their pitch is alt-right Christianity where if you send all the Jews to Israel, Jesus will finally come back; what logically follows from that pitch is the eventual targeting of Jews, after the brown people are delt with, for deportation to Israel.
And Israel is 100% on board, they’re worried about population size, and they’d love an influx of “refugees”, this has always been the goal, with early Zionists working with the Nazis and openly declaring that the antisemites with be their greatest allies.
Anyone who isn’t straight, white, and conventionally religious. The only minorities that won’t get murdered will be the “good ones”…until they do.
What really needs to be banned is the Nazi party which MAGAts have brought us today.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
How dare you compare trump to our God emperor. That man has done EVERYTHING for the good of humanity!
How is massively overcharging for plastic miniatures helping humanity?
What plastic miniatures are you talking about? These are my MEN who fight for the glory of MANKIND
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.
This is exactly what they’ve planned since he ran last time. Now they have “justification”.
Hey CNN - NO SHIT. You’re about 6 months late to the game.
Yeah and doing everything they could do to get Kamala the nomination without challenge did not help either. It does not speak well to their understanding. These are the people calling the shots.
How is this a big deal? It’s no different from when we outlawed the KKK, communists (see below), Proud Boys, Satanists, and private militias.
Oh, wait, WE NEVER BANNED ANY OF THOSE GROUPS!
TBF we kind of banned communists for a while but it didn’t stick for long and it was mostly affected those that were plotting to overthrow the government, not just self-proclaimed communists.
The democrat party that have nothing to do with this? That party?
Old shitty pants has a screw loose.
Orange turnip being a full blown nazi
So, nothing new
