From the founding of America 241 years ago, those opposed to and threatened by America's Founding Fathers' noble aspirations of freedom for all and a government in which citizens and not kings or dictators decide who will represent them have waged fierce resistance.
From the Muslim Barbary Pirates who fought America's first presidents (George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson) to today's equally bellicose, supremacist, and fascist groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa, all harbor the fantasy of destroying big bad America and replacing our Democratic Republic first with socialism and finally with communism. Predictably, they are fully supported by the leftists, progressives, communists, and Islamists among us.
