How to use opponents in a sentence?
For years, we saw former President Donald Trump – along with a number of foreign leaders – successfully utilize Facebook and other large social media platforms to sow misinformation, bully opponents, and spread anti-democratic vitriol, while this is a welcome step by Facebook, the reality is that bad actors still have the ability to exploit and weaponize the platform. Policymakers ultimately must address the root of these issues, which includes pushing for oversight and effective moderation mechanisms to hold platforms accountable for a business model that spreads real-world harm.
Nor is it right for The President to use immigrants or people who are claiming political asylum as pawns in a fight against political opponents, the President shouldn't use them as what The President imagines as retribution to political opponents in various areas.

I guess it's no coincidence that now they're all trying to do a 180 on this issue because it's election season, and they know the average voter really doesn't like this idea.
If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents -- on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America.
