    No worries, I get you.

    I think the thing to remember is that these folks aren't necessarily your average republican, so much as the vanguard of the Kool-Aid drinkers. These are the folks who popularize the right wing radical bullshit that the media then normalizes by splashing them across the screen as if they were a much bigger force in society. They're gulping down Koch and Mercer propaganda directly from their paid mouthpieces and then showing up in the streets giving a reality to the lies they're being fed in a weird kind of right wing consent manufacturing ouroboros.
