Fetishize?
These clumsy propagandists always try to layer in a just a little more smear. At some point, it becomes transparent to any objective mind.
To me, one of the most important things we should teach our kids in school is how to recognize such authoritarian tripe, critically analyze it, and then explain to our countrymen how it is being used to manipulate public opinion and ultimately undermine Liberty.
Did the founding fathers “fetishize” guns, too?
