    Different person, but I also have a trump supporter friend. We get along in so many other ways that we separate for about 15 minutes and come back to start bullshitting about other stuff. I’m also working to deradicalize him, but it’s difficult since we don’t see each other often. We’ve been friends since we met each other in middle school, a relationship like that doesn’t just end.

      Ah, see, there’s your how:

      My experience is they so adamantly refuse to listen to anyone about anything there’s no point in trying to talk to them about anything at all. Quite different.

      Good luck saving your friend. It’s good to know there are still some people who might be brought back from the precipice, even if I have yet to meet any of them.
