Do you tend to view the political opposition (IE if you're a Dem, Republicans; if you're a Republican, Dems; if you're a centrist, Leftists or Alt Right) as being essentially the enemy, to be defeated at almost all costs? Do you view the opposition as genuinely bad/immoral people?

Certainly Trump believes that anyone who criticizes him is the enemy.  Devil

Other people just trying to get about their life, help their friends and family, are not my enemy and to think they are is dangerous.

I don't have this sort of charity for most politicians however. I think that's an important distinction to make.

No, for the most part.

There are extreme, alien voices in both parties who are enemies of democracy and civility, however.

This rhetoric is not constructive in any way, shape, or form.

There are people and/or factions I disagree with, but the proper way to respond is not to resort to ad hominem attacks, but rather to try to persuade the general public and then vote at the ballot box.

Of course not. I see them as one good, logical argument away from being my close ally.

The results of the poll thus far further illustrate why all sane, reasonable Americans must support the Democratic Party.

The GOP has been radicalized to the point where it believes that fellow Americans who have different political views are the enemy. It will destroy this country if it does not stop.

Nice try, but its obvious that this poll is being manipulated. Only 5 blue avatars have voted yet 9 people have identified as Republican, the same number of people who have identified as Democrats on this poll. Since when does that ever happen on Atlas?

only in a competitive, "game" type sense.  Certainly not the same way the USSR was the "enemy" when I was a kid or how Nazis were the "enemy" in WWII.

I don't live in the US, but I definitely do not see political opposition as the enemy. I have political differences with many irl friends (to my left and to my right) but we put it aside because there is more to life than bickering about ScoMo vs. Albo or Orange Man.

And now "yes" is leading with the Democrats while "no" is leading with the Republicans, lol.
