The enemy: your fellow Americans. Everything's politicized. Thanks, Newt Gingrich, for really getting the ball rolling with that. Demonizing other countries and the people in them as enemies is terribly old-fashioned.

How nice to see Republicans blamed for what they have done to this country! I'm happy that the era of hysteria about Democrats being corporate neoliberals ignoring the working/middle classes is over, the ridiculous idea that people working for corporations or financial institutions donating legal amounts to Democratic campaigns or whose campaigns are supported by PACS makes them corrupt and evil. That was nutty!
