That's not that big of a leap. Many people don't agree with all that Trump does but some of the things he does they REALLY like. So he gets their support. They've always voted Republican.

The equivalent of someone going from the Occupy movement to being a proponent of white supremacy is if you take the most racist, hardcore, far-right person on this board and they do a complete 180 and turn into a far-left pro BLM SJW. It would never happen.

Or someone from DemocraticUnderground becomes a hardcore Ted Cruz supporter. It doesn't happen.

you obviously were not around for Alejandro/SirWinston's transformation

But more to the point, it speaks towards our collective bad habit of simply placing people in boxes and believing they should therefore behave a certain way. People are fluid and it follows their beliefs and therefore politics would be fluid. It's entirely plausible this nutjob went from one anti-establishment extreme to the other.
