The far right extreme propaganda has a very deep psychological effect on those that are exposed to it continually, and it has created a section within our society that is obsessed with firearms, minorities, immigrants, socialists, liberals/progressives and a very unhealthy hatred for Obama. Many of them are convinced that there is a grand conspiracy against them. One that wants to disarm them, enslave them in socialism and force them to give up their faiths in order to become enveloped in to a new socialist world order.

You made some very offensive underlying premises. I don't have principled objections to things. I just have buried hate.
Way to go!

The above quote is from my first post. Can you see how your response have proven that statement to be true. You took what I said as an indication that I was a threat that wanted to enslave, or round up your family, and force you to think and believe as I do.
Thank you so much for posting your comment. I believe you have illustrated the type of thinking that is not only rooted in propaganda, but in another reality.
This is a pushback to things like TPP and supreme Court rulings.

It has nothing to do with such things and to say so indicates that the premise may have gone over your head. This is about an extreme end of the right wing that has the potential to become ever more violent as they continue believe they are being threatened by forces around them.
Your post fails to recognize that this goes beyond simple politics.

I don't have time to go back through your mountains of assumptions.
But you list immigrants, inner city issues, and other things as proof that all people of dissenting ideology from your own harbor hidden hatred they aren't aware of.
The effect is that you don't actually feel you need to engage because we are already operating from a position of irrationality.
You absolve yourself therefore of needing to actually examine our arguments because they cannot be valid motivated as you tell yourself they are by hidden hatred.
You tell yourself that you are morally high-minded about all this by believing that we are just deluded and don't realize how brainwashed we actually are.
hat also allows you to feel superior and smug that you alone have spotted this and resisted. You are the special flower
You have eaten your own premise, by self balkanaizing.
I disagree. I also refuse to conform to your and the OP's narrative as to what constitutes anti-government and racist ideologies.
I stand by my assertions. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, then perhaps I'm closer to the truth than you'd like to admit.
You are talking out of the left side of your face.This is all SPLC driven,they capitalize and make money off of racial division,so keep slurping up the SPLC leftist line and further divide us along racial lines,Good work!

Do you feel that an anti-government sentiment is healthy or unhealthy?

That's not a simple yes or no answer. If one believes that all government, regardless of it's actions or effectiveness, is bad. I think that's a misguided belief.
If one believes that this current government is out-of-control, is poorly ran and is very ineffective, I would say that is healthy and I would agree.

Bravo you see the deflection away from the topic and that many cant address the elephant in the room which is racism and far right ideology of guns taking back the country and the false narrative of the white supremacy ideology.
But I don't think you understand that they don't see it as being a white supremacist ideology. They don't necessarily believe that their race is superior. They have been taught that these certain groups, inner city blacks, immigrants, socialists, and many others, are a threat to them and their way of life. So subconsciously they learn to hate these people because of that perceived threat they pose. Racism IS a factor that must be included, as there are many that hate certain groups because of their skin color and lack the testicular fortitude to admit it, but it's not the main driving force behind their ideology.
We must also recognize that these people are not just a threat to minorities or homosexuals, etc. They are a threat to everyone. They are a huge threat to our 2nd amendment rights.
