Republicans’ list of enemies keeps growing
Washington Post, by Jennifer Rubin, April 8, 2021

Republicans these days don’t like the National Football League, the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball. They do not like corporations such as Coca-Cola and Delta that, however belatedly, support voting rights (though they are fine taking their money). They don’t like historians, climate scientists or statisticians. They do not like Anthony S. Fauci and other public health officials.

They do not like atheists or churches that practice the social gospel and advocate for civil rights. They do not like critics of the Confederacy. They do not like police reformers.

They don’t like judges — even ones they appointed. They do not like book publishers, social media platforms, the mainstream media or Hollywood. They also think universities and tech companies are bad.

They do not like many local voting officials or people who take part in large-turnout elections. They do not like former vice president Mike Pence, former attorney general William P. Barr or many other officials who served in the last administration (from FBI Director Christopher Wray to former defense secretary Jim Mattis to former cybersecurity chief Christopher Krebs).

6. Can't fill column-inches with that category . . .

It reminds me of "Among The Thugs" by Bill Buford, which is a history of British football (soccer) violence during the 1980s and 1990s

"The supporters did not have a developed aptitude for meeting new people. They did not like people, apart from themselves. In fact, they didn't like anything - much. I reflected on the values at the heart of their community. I composed a list.

That was the most important item: they like themselves; them and their mates.

The list of dislikes, I decided, was straightforward. It was (over and above Tottenham Hotspur) the following: the rest of the world."

7. But, they DO l like some things.

Pedophiles, racists, p---y grabbers, greed, corrupt politicians, conspiracy theories, violent insurrections, spreading viruses, suppressing votes, harrassing POC, killing POC, guns, Russia, gaslighting, sex trafficking, caging children, kidnapping children, and fascism.

Such "fine people." What's not to like?
