“The West Virginia woman, who made national headlines in 2016 when she was fired from a county development organization over a racist Facebook post about then-First Lady Michelle Obama, has now pleaded guilty to defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) out of $18,000 intended to help flood victims.”

about people who allow themselves to be consumed with hatred. Just in general.

Hate is like a corrosive acid that eats away all good in you eventually. So, in the end, we see these Trump supporters seem to have lost their grip on the basic behaviors that hold our society together - like good manners, empathy and so on.

Then, after the hate has taken control they cannot help but express it in aberrant behavior. Like stealing or shooting up a women's clinic.

It's the fact that she held a position of trust and stole government funds intended for disaster victims. Besides, she will not serve 30 years. She'll probably serve half that or less.
