Why do right-wing people tend to portay the government as incompetent boobs EXCEPT when it’s convenient. They are too inept to do anything, except they can easily staff, coordinate and orchestrate a nation-wide roundup and subsequent detainment of tens of thousands of people.

For this conspiracy to be true, tens of thousands of Americans would already have to be in on the plan and you would see large construction projects (that are easily observed) located in each and every state. Just like the moon landing being faked, it would rely on so many people keeping the story perfectly secret, even though the scale of it would need to be breathtaking for the conspiracy to be true.
