My personal conspiracy theory is that the American right is endearing itself to the uber-patriotic gun-toting he-man in an effort to build an army independent of the Nat'l Guard and full time military. The aim is not to protect our Democratic rights but rather to diminish or destroy them. Think of the bile hurled at voters, unions, environmentalists, etc., etc... Consider that a rising tyrant would need "Great Americans" heavily armed to serve as his "Brownshirts".
Just a theory but, I believe it to be entirely plausible.
