Trump is always saying

he will make America great AGAIN. I wonder if the era he longs for is the 19th century with the robber barons and child factory labor.

I wish someone would ask him when he thought America was great and what attributes of that era does he want to restore in order to fulfill his promise to Make America Great Again.

Enemy? Yes

I'm a senior living on Social Security -- Republicans want to reduce and ultimately eliminate Social Security

I have health issues and but for Medicare would have been dead or bankrupt two years ago. They want to eliminate Medicare

I'm a senior and have been registered to vote for many years. Republicans would prefer that I not be able to vote and pass laws to see that it becomes more difficult to do so

And it's not just me -- Republicans also want to curtail the civil rights of people of color, the poor, other seniors.

On the world platform, Republicans do not hesitate to use lethal force as a solution to all problems. They do not understand the wisdom and necessity for negotiated settlements of conflicts. (no money to be made in negotiated settlements, donchano)

Republicans are all about making money, regardless of the environmental effects of doing so.

Republicans are all about making money, regardless of the rights and needs of workers.

Nope, can't think of any reason to consider them anything other than the enemy.

Never forget: Kissinger is an unindicted war criminal

“During his tenure, millions of civilians were killed in Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos, in a war widely seen as illegitimate. Kissinger was responsible for crimes against humanity in Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Chile and other countries as well.

"In East Timor one third of the population, over 180,000 people, were killed when Henry Kissinger and President Ford planned, supported and sponsored an attack by Indonesia,” said Rugoff.

Noted as a "Globalist Kingpin," Kissinger supported the apartheid regime in South Africa according to War Crimes Watch.
