No, it is the disease of confusing being conservative, with authoritarian mentalities. Oklahoma is famous for it. A weird subset of true conservatism where those types are actually fine with a police state....as long as they are in charge.
Another example is the new Texas “open carry” law. You can carry openly, as long as you go get a concealed carry permit first. They always throw in some weird twist.
Don’t use drug money. Simple.
