I guess it mostly invalidates what he said previously. Like we can agree that the US government will take away people's rights if left unchecked by the people, but then he will say that the government needs to deport all immigrants without care for due process, lock black and brown people for protesting, and to keep women out of leadership positions.
I point out the contradictions, but he says it still makes sense to him.
Thanks for the kudos. I mostly keep in contact because we grew up close as kids all the way through college. He got wrapped up into the manosphere crap during the pandemic so for me it's a relatively recent thing.
I will certainly keep trying and give your advice a shot.
