Story on a typical Trump Supporter: MD man pleads guilty to weapon, child porn charges after raid

A Maryland man pleaded guilty to weapons and child pornography charges Monday after a raid of his bunker last year uncovered a cache of firearms, explosives and other illicit materials.

Caleb A. Bailey, 31, of Waldorf pleaded guilty to illegal possession of unregistered machine guns, rifles, destructive devices and child pornography in federal court, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office in Maryland.

Bailey ran as a delegate for Donald Trump before the Republican National Convention and was one of three top vote-getters in the race in Maryland’s 5th Congressional District, said officials with the Maryland Republican Party, when an indictment was announced in May 2016.

The case against Bailey began when a package filled with hundreds of rounds of ammunition burst at a U.S. postal facility in Capitol Heights, Md., a court affidavit states.

Seems to me that deplorables choosing the GOP or vice versa is equally likely, although in this case I think the deplorable chose them first. The GOP likes compromised individuals because the information can be used against them if they don't toe the party line. On the other hand, deplorables seek out institutions that promote self-righteousness, i.e., GOP, the clergy.
