Well, this wasn't unexpected. Trump fanatic sentenced for providing support for ISIS

A former pot-smoking Trump backer who became a full-fledged ISIS crusader was sentenced to 20 years in prison Wednesday after expressing hope that “jihad will erupt on the American homeland.”

Bernard Augustine, 25, also tore into the federal prosecutors on his case as “filthy dogs and swine.”

He read from prepared notes as both his lawyers and Judge Sterling Johnson held their heads in their hands.

Augustine — who said that he had a normal American upbringing that included smoking weed, flirting with girls and supporting Donald Trump — had a message for non-Muslim Americans. “Slaughter is in store for you by our hands,” he said.

Well, if you're gonna run around thinking the Confederacy and Putin are the good guys, you really can't say "But not ISIS".

of extremism being transferred. Interesting stories out there about Ginni Thomas being a member of a cult years ago.

It makes sense that if you're propensity toward one cult, it could easily be transferred to another.
