I can’t say for certain they are but I’m of the same generation as him and grew up around conservatives that considered that type of “America at any cost” media to be sacred texts.

It’s moments like this where we can see how much copoganda really affected some people’s perspective on the world. I am willing to bet there is no small part of this person‘s reality that they don’t think is straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, and they are the forces of good and justice.

Man, what a quandary. Guess we just continue incarcerating the mentally unwell and arming the facists. Sounds like there’s no better option. Glad that’s sorted.

A friend of mine has a relative who is doing several years in prison for shit like this. It took about 14 times of him getting caught doing variously more aggressive, stalker things towards his ex partner before he was finally incarcerated for any length of time.
