Ok I can understand that thinking.

At the end of the day, it's about trust and many in today's Right do not trust. The Right which is predominantly white middle/upper middle class think for example that they will lose out in their way of life to immigrants. It is not a new theme. The Capital Riots are not new to American History. In the 1840s, native Protestants rioted against Irish Catholic immigrants. In the early 1900s, the KKK rioted against Italian Catholics. I was in a Starbucks in Savannah, Georgia one day a few years ago. Two young adults, probably in their early 20s (man and woman) came in to get a cup of coffee and each was carrying a pistol strapped to their waist. I went up to them and asked them why they felt the need to wear those guns inside the Starbucks. They told me that they didn't trust if there was some sort of crime that they would be protected by the police or anyone so they were taking matters into their own hands. That example perfectly describes the lack of trust among a huge segment of the population. It's a genuine paranoia but it's a real problem. Same thing with not trusting U.S. Government "databases." They simply don't trust.
