Years of "don't trust your government" finally caught up to them.  Added in with a love for authoritarian rule where they make the rules of how to live in society.

Meh, that "don't trust your government" stuff lasted from 2008-2016.  The Bush era was all about the government being your protector, smarter than you, and right to reduce your freedoms to protect you.  Daddy Bush was keepin' you safe by locking you in your room at night, and you'd best be thankful.  2008-2016 it became patriotic to protest the government.  2016-2020 or even now it's been a combination of reverence for the divine rule of Trump and his battling the government FOR YOU.  Sure, it's taken a bit of a spin, but it still comes down to a distrust of one wing of the government and a love of the strong-willed white dudes who will fight fight fight fight fight the evil government for you.
