Boy is he in for a rude awakening when they start making the lists to determine who's who.

What do you mean? Are you thinking that Jeffries is a Republican or something?

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I mean that when a list is made to figure out who's a Republican versus an extremist, it's going to end up that every Republican is an extremist.

So jeffries' assumption that there's a difference between a "normal" Republican and an extremist will be proved swiftly incorrect.
