They are stuck in an a hell of cognitive dissonance between their internal desire to live out some rugged individualist, gun wielding cowboy fantasy, while in reality living in a perpetual state of fear of anything and everything that exists beyond the confines of their ideological safe space.
The hardcore right wing 2A types are getting what they wanted: freedom to harass, threaten, or kill political opposition with a show of force. A fascist government will have their backs. Will pardon or strong arm local law enforcement to be agreeable. Will “deputize” them, etc.
They did not want their social security messed with. Or to reach their own kids. Let them become full-time parents, teachers, and elderly caregivers, the slim support they had is going to go and fast.

There is nothing the believe in that they would put their life on the line to protect. Chicken shit cowards every one of them.
I'm not one to kink shame but trumpers sure are a masochistic bunch.
