I ran into someone, today, that I used to hang out with in my teens and early twenties. We'd lost touch probably about 8 years ago, but I ran into him while picking up a Coke Zero after doing some home repairs. We talked for a bit and I realized that this guy was starting down this sort of rabbit hole. It was interesting, because his father was like that, but he always seemed to be a bit rebellious against this sort of thing. Now I'm listening to him spout alt-right and white nationalist talking points and talking about stockpiling for the coming "troubles."
I offered him a fishing trip some time, which he declined on account of his four daughters (and one step-daughter) taking most of his time outside of work. All I can think of is how to prevent him from doing something like this. I don't even care if he's going to be conservative, I just hope that he doesn't end up in jail because he made some poor decisions.
