Good point. To continue the analogy... The sheep end up with contempt for the sheepdogs because the dogs remind them of the danger that’s out there and the existence of their own vulnerability.

It’s OK to discriminate against evil and stupidity.

...all enemies foreign and domestic, and so forth.

Maybe not your enemies specifically, but enemies of our Constitution and our republic.

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. II Peter 3:8-9
