      Because the republican party full of congressmen who spend the 4th of July in Moscow…

      …the same party that paul ryan said was “a family” sworn to secrecy after he said trump and rorabacher were paid by putin…

      …the party full of the same people that erected gallows and chanted “hang mike pence” ON THE CAPITOL LAWN…

      …well they like to say that other American citizens aren’t Americans (Obama isn’t a citizen and only the HEARTLAND has real Americans) and threaten other American citizens with “second amendment solutions”.

      So this feeds directly into that bloodlust and misinformed opinion that city dwelling liberals are what’s wrong with the world.
