What you don't seem to realize is that ICSD is himself a fundamentalist of the most extreme and fanatical sort, so of course he will support moderate measures only grudgingly and with a sneer, of course he'll shake your hand over compromise even as he watches like a leering wolf for any opportunity to pull his snub-nosed revolver out of its back-holster and aim...

Are you honestly surprised that, in victory, the villain reveals his true colors, Lemur?

Hitler widely proclaimed that his intention was to destroy democracy - he accomplished his goal.

ICSD has widely proclaimed that his desire is to see gun-control legislation rolled back to the point where buying a weapon is easier than buying candy, and the entire world is utterly awash with firearms (perhaps to an even greater extent than Syria?). It is your job to fight him at every step, Lemur. Complacency and forbearance are just the traits this pit-dog has got his eye out for. Be prepared to defend yourself and your ideals, or he'll tear you apart.
