Republicans, for decades, fooled millions into believing that they believed in things.

Who would have thought that all those gun owners in Chicago are actually freedom fighters, in Alexander Hamilton's view in Federalist #29, and James Madison's view in Federalist 46? As could soon be determined by the SCOTUS, those possessing guns in Dem cities are actually terrorists who may be shot on sight by the US military apparatus occupying said city...
