There was an SNL skit a while ago with a similar vibe. A bunch of white nationalists having a meeting and one guys describing his vision for a white utopia and the other guy is like "yeah I just got back from Vermont and it really sounds like you're describing Vermont"

They probably get bored in their echo chambers and eventually want to try their five or six canned lines on someone new.
