AS I said elsewhere, it's amazing how easily people are radicalized over the internet.
A good friend of mine, a business owner and not exactly poor, has gone all-in and while more reasonable than most, seems more like he's in the midst of a mid-life crisis than anything else (so bad, his wife divorced him not long ago). Another, a history professor, who teaches black history of all things, seems beside herself that blacks didn't all jump for Sanders. She tries really hard to pick her words carefully, but one can read the message loud and clear. It's very strange, but makes me understand how groups like ISIS can grab up disaffected western kids so easily and talk them into atrocities.
