Political Neutrality Please! (I mean my brothers and sisters)

“Whatsoever you do to the least if my brothers...”. You think this means brothers literally? Oh, brother!
oh brother?
brother has na very clear definition in the Bible.
In Matthew 12:50 it is defined. It's not anybody.

Please, it's not that every word can mean just anything.

If Jesus wanted to merely say "anybody" in Matthew 25, I'm sure that the Greek language offers various possibilities to express "anybody".
But he didn't.
Wording is important.
Even in common law, there is a distinction between "anybody" and groups of people....
