If the gun nuts and "don't tread on me" crowd actually cared they would be out protesting against the armed secret police who kidnap people into unmarked vehicles.
... and the nationwide public/private surveillance panopticon, and the internet "age-verification" laws, and the slurping up of data-broker output by law enforcement, and the very existence of data brokers, and the proposed requirement to show ID to activate a cell phone, and all the other things that limit the ability of law-abiding citizens to be unknown and mind their business.
I sometimes find myself working in northern Wisconsin. There's a huge population of folks up there who will chase the census taker off their land, occasionally with a gun, because they don't like The Guv'mint being in their business. And then they'll put up a dozen Ring cameras around their property, so if that census taker shows up again, they'll know immediately and can give him what for.
Some combination of profound cluelessness and a love for the taste of boot.
