In reply to the discussion: Do you consider the Republicans your enemy? [View all]hfojvt
(37,573 posts)72. I just had the privilege
of cleaning up after a local Republican event.
I was joking before I went to work, that I was reminded of a comic I read as a kid it was called "In the presence of mine enemies"
Then I wondered what that meant. Does it mean that I hate them or does it mean that they hate me, or both?
I don't hate them, for the most part, but some of them do seem to be malevolent or dishonest or otherwise without any honor.
Do they hate me? Or do they just want me to work for lower wages and less benefits and to be forced to retire later and have fewer public services and to pay more for everything I need? If that's not hate, it is close enough for rock and roll.

Yes. I'm a woman. They don't think I'm entitled to equal rights. Fuck them.

No, life would be pretty shitty if I thought everyone who disagreed with me was an enemy.

I see Republicans as rivals, Republican leaders as hornswagglers, and GOP voters as victims...

White supremacy, classism, and systemized racism are my enemies. Party isn't important.
