It fucking sucks. One of my best friends from high school and I used to hang out all the time. We even went to rallies like an anti-Prop 8 (the California gay marriage bill) together. But then one day he fell for the Fox Kool-Aid. I went over to his house because we were going to go out and have a couple of beers and he's like "Hey I really like this Glenn Beck guy!". Instant puke. It only got progressively worse from there. A couple of years later, he was into full blown Alex Jones conspiracy theories.
We and a couple of other friends got together after COVID restrictions were lifted and found out that a mutual acquaintance of ours was in January 6th and was actually part of the mob that was entering the Capitol. He also took a vacation in 2020 when everything was shut down and went to the Sturgis biker rally. He didn't own a motorcycle. It was pretty much over by then.
