I also find it so ironic that before Trump their main point of pride was that they, as the rugged individualists of American Wild West culture and avowed survivalists, were actually ideologically standing against the government. I’m sure they’re convinced that this is exactly what they’re doing, except their leader is the Big Man, the president himself, who has never lifted a finger to help them. And they protest the state government who protects their lives.

They definitely one up Idiocracy, don’t they?
