I chuckled on your comment on "uh, patriotic and political" than you expected. This has been my experience at my pseudo-gun "club". I love the patriotic but stay away from the political and conspiracy theories as best as possible (too many firearms around!).
For me it's great training, builds up my skills, and good fellowship.
