He went from just your bog standard Obama lib to Andy Ngo-worshipping Nazi. How do we reeducate folks like this? I think my old friend might be gone forever :(

    Yeah I'll admit this is going to be the likely play. Guess I'm just in denial about it all lol

      I mean you don't have to do what I did. It's harder to try and convince and argue or what ever the method is. But it's not your job to change this person. You can just be yourself and cut out the bullshit.

      I ended up deleting Facebook after I got tired with arguing with people. Essentially I died like Heidi Turner did in South Park when she deleted her Twitter. Not living in your home town our state also creates a huge distance so I don't interact with any of my older friends in person.

      I kind of have a don't ask policy with family. I don't want to hear your views I just want to get through dinner, talk about the weather until we're at each other's funeral.

        I actually ended up going back over to facebook for a minute to hook up with some local organizing, and I swear I nearly disassociated reading some of the shit on there after not using it for 10 years.

        Like, dealing with chuds on twitter is one thing, but seeing all these people not just aligning with with the fash, but professing it -- with their real name and identity attached to the posts -- is like a whole other level of "In the Zone" that I was not prepared for.,

      I had to do it to my brother. Dude is just way too far gone to reason with. Prior to Trump he was 100% apolitical. Now he spends all of his time watching fash youtube to the point his girlfriend left with their son to live with her mom. Imagine losing your family because you watch too much praeger u videos. smfh
