In a sense, this encapsulizes a lot of things we are seeing these days, including the election of Trump. The people that would do this -- show up as a couple with AR-15s to be "blessed" by some wacko cult leader as though they are the rod of God from Revelations shows just how far the mainstream of 50 years ago is now so far out of whack with reality.
There are people whose social and intellectual development has been arrested in a 1950s America. Even an 1850s America, where they cling to an overly romanticized vision of how important they are. Them and their dying breed of redneck values.
Funny thing is, they'll bemoan the way that society has changed and how they are honoring the way "things used to be" and how they have the moral highground, but they'll ***** on the way home to their wives about how they checked and the cable company still hasn't updated the wifi speed at home.

It popped up on the Orlando Sentinel page. I did not go looking for it.
The original link to it was from Fox News. They have the same report.
I think even they are a little bewildered by the absurdity of it.
