The author posts this subheading:

"Like Trump, the Patriot Movement’s surge is due partly to fear and the perceived indifference of political leaders to places that didn’t recover from the 2008 crash"

Then the text doesn't support this. First of all, a lot of patriot country wasn't greatly affected by the housing bubble. I think it's minimizing the cause of liberty to dismiss patriots as economic losers.

Oregon is in one of the hardest hit regions from the housing bubble.

It takes lumber to build houses and that market all but stopped.

The article itself is a self designated sublime hit-piece on liberty though...............................
