Think about the kind of person that would move to a whole new state over a fringe ideology. Leaving their friends and family behind. Probably not even having a job. All that's here for them is an annual convention of like-minded misfits -- an Internet forum come to life. They're not sending their best to New Hampshire, that's for sure. They're sending pedophiles, drug addicts, and the criminally insane. You drive through the main road in Grafton, and you'll see the makeshift shacks these degenerates build, with a "trespassers will be shot" sign out front.

They're perceived about as well as the busloads of vagrants that red states send to Los Angeles. They live in similar squalor. They're about as hostile. Only difference? We armed the homeless. In an ideological vacuum, I have to admit, that's kinda based, but here in reality, people have been murdered because of it.

I'll just leave you with this: where else have you heard this story, of a fringe ideology attracting misfits and isolating them? Do these kinds of things generally turn out well for those involved? To say the quiet part out loud: this is how cults operate. Now, I think there are a few benevolent cults out there, but the followers are usually abused, and they are occasionally convinced to commit heinous crimes. Kinda human nature for these things to go to hell in a hand basket. Especially for the women and children involved. Especially when selfishness is perceived as a virtue in your cult.
