What term would you prefer we use for generally uneducated, reactionary populations that infamously believe their personal arsenals will be used to overthrow a tyrannous federal government and establish socially conservative concepts of personal liberty?

How about "strawmen"?

...so we've gone from debating which word we should use to describe conservative reactionaries to the denial that they even exist.

I'm honestly kind of impressed.

Denial of your caricature of "conservative reactionaries", most certainly.

Wherever you stand on all this, having a clear view of the various parties is essential.
