Conservadongs were ludicrously outraged over Ruby Ridge and Waco for fucking decades. Timothy McVeigh blew up that federal building over it and stared defiantly into the camera as the lethal injection took him at his execution. All because they thought federal agents overstepped and people died for it.
They’ll say ICE is different because illegal emigrants are breaking the law. But the day of the RR standoff, agents were there with a warrant to arrest Randy Weaver on federal charges!

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.
But David Koresh was a huge pedophile… they would definitely have conflicted feelings about that one. twobuttonsmeme.gif.
