My first question is “how long ago?” Because if I’m talking to a 30 year old who was a nazi at 20, then I’m not even suspicious. If it was much more recent, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt but I’ll keep an eye on em. I don’t want people whose sympathies are changing from far right to far left to think that they will always be unwelcome, but I have to be wary of bad faith actors.
