Question

Did Jim Gilchrist become a deconstruction of The Lone Ranger?

Answer 1

Not in any way that I can see. According to Wikipedia, James "Jim" Walter Gilchrist Jr. (born January 13, 1949) is the American co-founder, along with Chris Simcox, of the Minuteman Project, a group whose aim is to prevent illegal immigration across the United States's southern border. Even under a deconstruction approach, you need to account for Tonto, the black mask, the silver bullets, and the horse Silver. All seem to be absent, even as decontructed splinters, in your setup..

Answer 2

He started out with a clear cut idea of what right & wrong was.  He had a mission to see it through.  In the beginning, his detractors were on the wrong side.

Eventually, his organization had been redefined by its opposition.  Politically, The Minutemen started to fall out of favor because its goals began to be called into question.  More extreme right-leaning factions slowly gained control of The Minutemen, and evacuated the original premise of the entity's existence.  This served as a justification for the opposition that they were right all along.

Jim, disallusioned and deconstructed, left the group he'd founded.  He left because the group no longer held meaning for him.  He's a politico who now is attempting to find another issue to attach himself to.

Seems like a Lone Ranger type of deconstruction to me.
