Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

They did try to promote their beliefs online and were fully into Q Anon and Alex jones.

I disagree with the complete lack of nuance, we invited them with the understanding that they weren't allowed to bring up any opinions against any group of people, as sort of soft intervention.

They've since come out as non-binary and seem to have dropped the bullshit. We're not close anymore, though.

In the end, I saw the opportunity to help get rid of a nazi. It's not a contagious disease anymore than not being a nazi.

Glad they dropped the bullshit. You and they done good, regardless of where your friendship currently is.
