"the enemy within" [View all]

Yes, your instincts are correct, that is a nazi-ism.
"The enemy within" is exactly what they called not just Jewish people but Communists, Blacks, LGBTQ, Romanians (known colloquially at the time as Gypsies) and anyone else they deemed to be an enemy of the state. In some cases even the people that helped Hitler create his vision eventually found themselves on the pointy end of that effort and paid a very high cost.

More specifically to our current situation, we have to come to terms that the current government of the US likely sees Democrats and our allies as that enemy.
I sincerely hope the news media DEMANDS that he elaborates on who he considers to be "the enemy within" because we need him to say it out loud. We need to hang that albatross around the neck of Republicans from now to the end of time.

I am taking the position that the Republican Party and all that claim allegiance to it, are domestic terrorists, bent to the destruction of this country and the murder of a majority of its citizens.

Why?

Because that is, in no uncertain terms, what the leader of their political party said to our military leadership yesterday.
