The "Get the US out of the UN" group, who still think the US economy is a 1920's semi-agrarian and resource commodities exporter that maintains its own manufacturing and can afford to isolate itself from the rest of the world.

Because Grandpa had stories about working at the long shut down steel works shop making precision nuts, bolts, and fixture hardware, and Grandma had a WWII job at a chemical factory filling 55 gallon drums of aircraft coating finish to keep the fuselage together (which later caused the cancer that killed her at the age of 45).

Seriously - these people think the limited finishing manufacturing that might be going on in this country is the same parts level manufacturing as it was prior to the manufacturing outsourcing boom of the late 70's and 80's.
They have no clue how modern economics work, even if they're able to balance a checkbook or small business ledger.
