They're old friends from HS, recently rediscovered, and, much to my horror, I've discovered a number have gone fundy and/or tea party. These were normal, good people! Now they're posting horrific lies and racist crap. It's very disheartening to see such a transformation, especially from a Blue state. I live in a Red state now, I'm used to it here. I was very much caught off guard with them, though.
