President Donald Trump’s revenge could “outlaw” the Democratic Party as part of the fallout from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a CNN commentator has warned.

Veteran Democratic operative Jamal Simmons said he was “absolutely” concerned that Trump could ban the party in retribution.

3. It might sound a little overboard at first

but I think what they want to do will amount to the same thing as making the party illegal. Or they will manage to hobble the party so badly it can't post serious opposition and its mere existence with no effective power or influence only serves to offer the veneer of democracy.
