    The last 7(ish) years of watching people in my life who appeared ‘normal’ slide into full throated endorsement of fascism has been both fascinating and absolutely horrifying. I hate the thought of cutting some of them out of my life, but haven’t hesitated for a moment to do so.

    It sucks and I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

    Had a similar situation happen a few days ago. A friend in one of my group chats is perpetually on Twitter and gets constantly fed anti-LGBT shit. Then he was complaining about “LGBT books indoctrinating kids in schools,” and his evidence was just a video of the GayBCs book. He kept ranting about that gay people are pushing sexuality on kids, then I turned it back on how we’ve grown up with straight sexuality pushed on us, and all he said was “but that’s natural.” He’s pretty much rotted his brain just by sticking to Twitter and believing every right winger’s weak, tired arguments and outrage.

    Had similar experience. Decided that those people are not “friends”. Feels much better afterwards.

    sometimes people aren’t who you need them to be, and life gets hard. i’m here if you need someone new.

    you’re always allowed to find new friends, you don’t have to take care of them.

    in any case, good luck : )
