Basically, weak, insecure people want Big Daddy Government to protect them from any and every perceived threat. Especially brown people and Godless liberals.

Excellent, in depth analysis ... as we’ve all come to expect.
The argument I made is an argument that I've seen a lot of Libertarians make. I think it's very valid. You have to be insecure to think the government should protect you from almost anything that has any potential whatsoever to harm you. Free will exists for a reason, and people should be allowed to do harmful things so long as they're only harming themselves and not others. Sometimes you have to dare to be stupid in order to truly enjoy life. Some say you never feel more alive than when you're dead, and I think they have a point.

It's especially ironic since the right was screaming about "big government" for eight years under Obama. Then again hypocrisy is almost a requirement to identify with the Republican Party.
Then again, the tea party/libertarians and the alt-right are actually different on economic issues.
