    Jeffries was reacting to comments Leavitt made during a Fox News appearance Thursday, when she claimed Democratic Party constituents are made up of “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals.” This was in reaction to New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) not calling for Hamas to disarm.

    Pay attention to this, it is not thrown out there casually. They are attempting to outlaw the opposition party entirely. Other authoritarians throughout history did the exact same thing.

    At some point soon, they will go after the DNC as a “domestic terrorist organization”, even though that’s not a thing. Lower courts will rule against them, writing blistering opinions to bolster their case. Then it will go to the Supreme Court, where the future of this Republic will hinge on at least two of the six Conservatives on the SCOTUS aligning with the three sane justices. (And it’s really two of four they need, because Thomas and Alito’s votes are already in, for Fascism.)
