To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

You can do all of that with jQuery

let enemies = $('#enemies'); 
enemies.crush(); 
observe(enemies.driveBefore(me)); 
listen(enemies.getWomen().selectLamentation());

Well sure but what if you have your enemies lined up to drive but when you hover over them you want to quickly and easily switch their CSS classes so it's clear to everyone which one you're targeting at any given time? Driving your enemies and listening to their women lament is of course important, but I do think Jquery can still have a very useful and important function while doing so.

One man came close to breaking me, H.R. Pickens. He did not succeed, for I crushed him into the ground!
