who took over the wildlife refuge in Oregon a few years back, and is now a would-be winger pol.

I live in Vegas so I also know about his freeloader family grazing their cattle for free on federal land.

the biggest con of all, so talking them into another con - using the first con to convince them they're "sincere" - is a natural progression.

They've already shown that they're not intellectually curious, so just keep on selling them snake oil. Hey, it worked perfectly for Donald Trump.

Cousins who lived there got into hot water because they didn't know who the hell Joseph Smith was on history tests. Other than that, they seemed to enjoy living there.
