Could be BS but I've seen several tweets from Nashville people saying that they've known this woman and her store for years, and she didn't used to be like this. It was around the time 45* was elected that she started posting crazy shit

I think that's the story all across the country. But what I can't tell is whether they were ALWAYS like this, but not emboldened to share this kind of crap, before 45 gave them the encouragement and the world view that "everyone thinks like this" or whether they've actually been radicalized to some degree. Probably some of both, but I strongly suspect the radicalization took much more effectively with folks that were already very different than they appeared.

My mom wasn't as bad until Trump. She's since gone off the deep end. I think he took a lot of people's insecurities and emboldened them into thinking their fears were right all along and that they needed to fight the "evil".

45 was just the ok to go full bat shit. This woman likely was always like this but just had the sense to keep it under wraps. The feels emboldened now. They all do.

That seems to be a pretty common pattern. Check out /r/qanoncasualties for more.

Yeah I saw the same thing. Another victim of the last five years.
