Oh yeah, I get it was all weird outsider trappings, but even then it wasn't like he was still hitting the bong and going "at least he's burning it down, maaan" in a lazy left accelerationist way. It just became "yeah fuck gays, muslims, mexicans, whoever I am told to hate"

So all of a sudden the guy turned on what had been a cornerstone of how people knew him for like 20+ years and went from a kumbaya left hippie to a rabid trump person. That was the strangest part.

I wouldnt be surprised if he started going to church again after constantly being an annoying atheist.

edit: he was also a history grad student too, so otherwise he was very well versed in political histories of places like the USA etc. all of that was suddenly thrown out the window for blind trump support and historical revisionism to support that all.
