Maybe militia, if you're talking about people who've more or less removed themselves from regular society to live in a compound, likely off the grid, similar to the group who took over the national wildlife preserve in OR several years back.

MAGA is way too mainstream to be a counter culture. QAnon is more like a belief in certain conspiracies than an ethos you live by, no?

The problem of militias in the US is that they are not removed from society. A lot of them were part or are still part of law enforcement and are keeping really close ties. They are a really strong culture and spreading fast. The thing is that they look so much alike and share so much with the "official" law enforcement, that could keep them in check, that not much is done to them or they even get support. Unfortunately America is just getting ready for a coup (there was one attempt already) and forces are gathering for the next one. Almost half of the population wouldn't be opposed to it. That's the reality, and from my point of view that's a little scary.
