There are also people I know (many of whom are relatives) who seem like normal people but then support Trump and all of his policies. I want to think they're not horrible people and that they're just brainwashed, but recently I've been seeing some of my friends jump on the alt-right bandwagon and posting extremely racist stuff to be "edgy", even after leaving the far-right culture bubble they lived in. This is the sort of stuff that even when I was still a conservative I would never have thought it would be okay to promote, and I grew up in the same environment they did so it seems like they know perfectly well what they're doing. After all of this I'm starting to think that maybe many of them are genuinely terrible people.
