Now picture that same punchable face behind prison bars --- with one of these fine citizens as a bunk mate standing behind him:

Observe:
Martin Shkreli, the former pharmaceutical executive who is awaiting sentencing for a fraud conviction, was sent to jail on Wednesday after a federal judge revoked his bail because he had offered $5,000 for a strand of Hillary Clinton’s hair.
Mr. Shkreli, who was free on $5 million bail while he awaited sentencing, had made two Facebook posts offering cash to anyone who could “grab a hair” from Mrs. Clinton during her book tour.
At the hearing in Federal District Court in Brooklyn, Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto said that Mr. Shkreli’s post could be perceived as a true threat.

There's something uniquely special about the carnal level of fear that must exist in a lot of these conservative, (wealthy and poor) white males that has just the mere thought of Hillary Clinton driving them to such prepubescent fits of madness.
The saddest part is that this fucking parasitic menace to society won't spend nearly as much time in prison as would be needed to really get a meaningful message through to his thick as a brick skull -- one that might actually help get him on a path toward helping him become a more decent human being instead of toxic burden on society.
Shkreli has that same, smug, bullying arrogance - the kind that attracts these conservative males to "leaders" like Trump. Shkreli has his own brigades of cyber sycophants and when you read their on-line commentary, it's almost like the words are interchangeable from comments that you typically see on pro-Trump news forums. They are views and opinions which emanate from a mutually disturbed mindset - the kind of mindset that The Gadfly believes one would get if you were to transmogrify all of the most obnoxious character traits of Beavis & Butthead with the twisted soul and life force of Emperor Palpatine.
They are, quite simply fawning, unthinking, gleeful followers of bullies. They are the kind of individuals who would much prefer to hitch a ride on the coattails of an uncompassionate, morally corrupt, charismatic, wealthy, Hollywood celebrity flim-flam man for their leadership. God forbid should they genuinely have to expend the time and effort, and making the intellectual investment that is paramount when one is contemplating the prospect of what kind of a person it is that you want leading your nation forward and being the representative face and public voice of all Americans.
The story of human history is replete with the tragic outcomes of allowing such kind of blindly devoted drone arrogance to flourish and gain footholds in ideological and political movements and among the intellectually lazy and spiritually bankrupt masses.
