If you've ever played Grand Theft Auto, you'll note that the society depicted in those games is the society these Birchers and Reaganites want.

Everything is privatized and corrupted. You can buy your way out of anything. Gun superstores and strip clubs on every corner. Everyone has a gun. So on and so forth. That's where we're headed.
