Enemy of the People.
That term has a very specific meaning, historically and legally. It has been extremely popular with Dictators and oppressive regimes, especially communist ones.
It was also the usual description for Jews in Nazi Germany.
In today's political discourse, one person and his echo chamber has been using this term to describe their political and ideological opponents.
I consider this not only inappropriate, but anti-democratic in the extreme. In fact, I consider it disqualifying rhetoric in a US president.
Thoughts?
