"The government" as an abstract entity might not mean to be anyone's "enemy," but the one currently running the show absolutely views its own people as such.
I never set out to be anyone's enemy. I want a peaceful life, like most people do. Yet, by doing no more than the radical act of "existing," the current United States government has hand-picked me and others like me to be their enemies. Anyone who's LGBTQ, female, non-white, foreign-born, science-minded, and/or financially poor is liable to be scapegoated (at best) or outright targetted by those currently in charge.
Make no mistake - "the government" might not be here to be anyone's enemy, but this government definitely is.
