Cons cater to the benighted that carry their water as long as they provide aid and comfort to paranoid gun nuts. But you see; those same people must be subdued when their usefulness outlives itself and the plutocrats no longer need them...and the rural conservatives finally realize it. If the oligarchy moves too fast to preclude the working class gun nuts fighting back, they lose momentum in the form of the lack of rural conservatives voting against their interests ( which is necessary to sustain the conservative movement ) but if they advance their plans to place 99 percent of the US in serfdom too fast, their formerly loyal rural conservatives ( and everybody else ) will turn on them with too much means to fight for the oligarchy's comfort.
