A suburban or rural man who stockpiles guns and dresses like a weekend warrior, to live out a fantasy where he defends the homeland or his family from imaginary enemies. Invariably overweight and unfit for actual military service, Tactical Dad dresses himself in tattoos, t-shirts, and vehicle stickers that imply a hair-trigger violent response to any stimulus his terrified, childlike psyche finds threatening. Self-assured in his opinions, Tactical Dad often takes to Twitter to own the snowflakes and show them what's what. His avatar invariably has him in sunglasses and a hat, piloting a truck or boat.
