It's called feudalism. Where you must pay the baron to use his road and you will bow to your betters or else be killed by those who directly benefit from strong man rule.
Oh, it won't be by men on horseback in chain mail with colorful banners and clothes. More like Rand Paul bragging about his private security that makes him feel safe, while he's surrounded by 2A Solution riflemen who want to 'restore' the USA to its rightful rulers.
Same thing as the CSA wanted, only rich white men will rule, but it'll be global and not so much race based, but by wealth.
Where social mobility is a pipe dream, slavery is what some people are born to be in and they deserve it. Historically all created by the reduction of government until it is so weak it cannot enforce laws. It was the only force keeping feudalism at bay and everyone wants it gone. They embrace it with fantasies from films and fiction, reveling in the new world being created.
Grover knew cutting off funds by denying government taxes was the way and enforced the allegiance of the GOP, as the Koch brothers do now.
This is part of a cycle. There is no mystery, it's happened mny times before and by the same methods employed today. Thom Hartmann did a great analysis referring to an author who states the case plainly:
This is the era we are living in, it is our choice to let it go on by not sticking together, so please listen carefully, DU! We are going into something most aren't prepared to survive in, with little true freedom of the mind allowed. Pick your god, and beware.
