I don't want this to be read in a way that sounds like I'm replying to any statement in particular, but
It's fiction. Clear and simple. If your the type of person that desires clear definitive lines drawn between what could be and what could not be - then just understand that when approaching any type of creative medium, the creator will generally denote whether or not it is fictional. This sounds like a dickish response to what could just be fun speculation, but I constantly hear people around me in person and online asking very surface level questions about plots in movies, games, etc. and it's kind of annoying.
Far Cry 5 is set in a fictional town. With fictional characters. So ANY questions regarding the reality of the scenario presented falls into the answer that it's not real and not intended to be real.
That's an easy way to stop yourself from watching films and saying, "well why didn't they just..." or playing games and saying, "well how could that even..." out loud, and just internally asking yourself what the creator(s) have chosen to make.
That said I don't want to sound arrogant and I understand that sometimes things are "so ridiculous" given the material presented and it shouldn't be frowned upon when someone wants to discuss their interpretation. I just wanted to offer a simple solution to people who find that kind of scrutiny irritating and would rather avoid it.
Just re-read this and it does sound dickish. So sorry for that. I also read some of the spoiler blocked stuff in comments and now I'm coming to the conclusion that I misunderstood the topic....but whatever.
