Libertarian presidential candidate Johnson's opponent was John McAfee: a world-famous tech CEO, international anti-government operative, computer scientist, civil disobedience activist, pioneer of the commercial anti-virus industry (Ballotpedia. Yes, THAT John McAfee)

He keeps popping up in the news, usually with mentions of insanity and
drug addiction. Anyway, does he call himself a survivalist? Has he
been squirreling away food, guns etc? It seems he's more of a maximum

become hard to find.

I think they based this character on McAfee.
