A recent poll by Rasmussen has found that many Americans view their fellow citizens with different political affiliations as the nation's greatest enemy.
According to a poll conducted between December 19-21, 2022, 22 percent of Americans said that Democrats were the "nation's biggest enemy" and 17 percent named Republicans as the threat. 39 percent of those polled did not name a foreign adversary as the greatest threat but instead looked inward.
25 percent of those polled, the largest percentage, named China as the country's greatest threat. North Korea came in at 5 percent and Iran at 2 percent.
The December Rasmussen poll surveyed of 900 likely voters and with a 3 percent margin of error, had 20 percent of those polled placing Russia at the top of the threat list.
In January of 2021, a CBS News poll had 54 percent of those polled saying that "other people in America" were the greatest threat to the country.
Another CBS poll from September 2022, found that 47 percent of Democrats viewed Republicans as their enemies and 49 percent of Republicans viewed Democrats the same way.
In September of 2022, Joe Biden gave a speech where he described half the US population as "a threat to this country" and called them "extremists" who must be defeated.
"MAGA Republicans have made their choice. They embrace anger. They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies," Biden said.
Days later Biden said modern American conservatives were part of a "through line of hate" that has been at the root of the American experiment since its inception.Join and support independent free thinkers!
