The Left is America’s oldest enemy.
It was here long before the 1960s, calling for the execution of George Washington, plotting to stop the ratification of the Constitution, and collaborating with foreign enemies.
Stolen elections, fake news, race riots, globalism, and socialism aren’t new problems; Americans faced them from the very beginning.
Domestic Enemies reveals the true origins of the Democratic Party and its radicals, who―even two centuries ago―were calling for the redistribution of wealth, the end of marriage, and the use of schools for political indoctrination.
From political battles to street fights, Domestic Enemies takes you into the heart of a century of forgotten struggles between America’s greatest heroes―such as Washington, Hamilton, Davy Crockett, and Abraham Lincoln―and radical villains like Aaron Burr.

It's interesting and pertinent on how you deal with "domestic enemies".
History lesson time:-
Anyone got much knowledge on the "domestic enemies" language that the founders understood?
people against ratification of the constitution were hardly leftists. They feared a strong federal government.
OR
They were godless darwinist cultists

the framers were opposed to “levelling” fearing it might lead to another French-type revolution.
“Levelling” was pretty much the same then as now: pretending everyone was equal, when we’re not.

Jefferson was too enthusiastic about the insane leftists of his day, the Jacobins.
Yep, it is a history they do not EVER want you to hear about. Extreme punishment must be used to negate them!!
The Bill of Rights were largely put in the Constitution to make sure that the federal government (set up as a govt of limited, enumerated powers ONLY) did not usurp more power over the citizens of the states (or over the states themselves, which were set up as the primary sovereign levels of government).
The Founders of our Republic feared a dictatorship as with King George. They also feared a “dictatorship of the majority” as with too much “democracy” (as with Plato) and the French revolution (so recently in their minds).
The only serious opposition to the Bill of Rights was that it could be construed as a total, all-inclusive list of citizen rights. That would have reversed the Founders’ intention that the new federal government be limited to the Constitution’s total, all-inclusive list of federal govt powers and no more.
The compromise was struck to list the key, major powers recognized as residing with each individual citizen in a Bill of Rights, with this as the capstone clause:
“”The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
(10th Amendment).
The Founders thought that by (1) strictly limiting the new federal government to a list of enumerated powers, (2) listing key powers or liberties recognized as residing with the citizenry (or sovereign states, as appropriate), and (3) adding this 10th Amendment to “nail down” the intent that the new federal government was NOT to usurp ANY more powers than the (18, as I recall) enumerated ones assigned to it,
the Founders thought that they had made “damned sure” that the new federal govt they were establishing would never, ever be permitted to grow beyond its intended functions (national defense, post roads, deciding disputes between citizens of diverse states or the states themselves, etcetera).
And our Republic’s Founders thought that they had done all possible to recognize and thus assure the “sanctity” or safety, if you will, of our individual liberties (Bill of Rights, etc.)
Benjamin Franklin, when asked outside of Constitution Hall what kind of government he and his fellow Founders had created for us, replied with some sagacity: “A Republic, IF you can keep it.”
Well, we didn’t.
