We are not at war with people going to college at Dartmouth, and we won't be nuking Dartmouth.

What kind of world view does it take to see everyone as the enemy?

I'm guessing the campaign promise to "win bigly" didn't resonate with you, but lots of people loved it.

I suspect you do have an enemy. It might be rural people, southerners, Christians, or people who want to win bigly.

Evolution made humans behave this way. People who supported their tribe against the neighboring tribes got to leave more offspring. Even those killed in battle effectively got more offspring, due to DNA shared with close relatives who benefited from winning the wars.

I am not at war with any of those people, although I might disagree with them and oppose their policies. There's a difference between an enemy and someone we disagree with.
