Their fears of “unyielding technocratic tyranny” mean that some in Claremont circles have been “dabbling in talk of secession for years”, and “believe they need to use whatever they might need, including paramilitaries”.
Haywood’s ideas have seen him characterized as an extremist even by others on the far right including the former American Conservative columnist Rod Dreher, who wrote last December that Haywood was “seriously, batshit crazy” and characterized him as writing from a “Midwestern Führerbunker”.

Republicans and their voters love nutjobs.
Republican politicians and their voters love nutjobs.
They’re like teens who think they can live on their own but have never had a job or had to pay bills. They sit around creating a big mess, spending their parent’s money with their friends, and create a big fuss whenever they are asked to do something useful to help around the house.
The current batch of republicans have never actually had to do the work of governing. They just keep making a mess of everything, piss away money with their rich friends, and throw a hissy fit when actually asked to do actual work of governing.
Fall of Rome, baby
Imho, republicans are not the Joker who just want to see the world burn, they're con artists who are out to make a buck.
Why should they govern when they benefit from malafide-governance (I use this term with utmost seriousness) and by preventing Democrats from governanace? Those who seek to profit from crashing USA's democracy and the civil rights of Americans pay them to make paint USA as a picture of failed democracy.
Bunch of losers
@xuxebiko If people on the right are calling you batshit crazy, they’re probably correct. This guy wants to be a feudal warlord and govern by violence. All the more reason for me to kit up for these fucks
