The author is a little bit late. Any thinking person knew this was not about Bundy from day one….that it was always about the BLM, their private army, and just WTF is the Fed Gov doing owning 28% of the nation anyway?
You are so right. Unfortunately so many non-thinking people think this is about a rich racist rancher that wants to graze his cattle at the expense of taxpayers and tortoises.
I wouldn’t characterize people as non-thinking because they don’t understand the basic mechanism. It has been this way for what, at least a century, more or less?
Most people who don’t have a stake in it (even if they DO have a stake, just not realizing that the issue is a Federal vs State issue that has many tentacles into far reaching areas) and it has been this way their whole lives for many of them.
Problem is that many people don’t see how this could possibly impact them so they don’t care, and the media isn’t going to educate them in any way.
