minus-squareherseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up8·6 days ago Conservadongs were ludicrously outraged over Ruby Ridge and Waco for fucking decades. Republicans did have an anti-government libertarian side in the past. But this has basically died after the post-9/11 rise of the security state. If Waco happened again today, most republicans would side with the government, not with the cultists.
