Probably an anti vacxxer and a maskhole to boot

This man was lonely and looking for a connection. And it cost him everything. This guy is textbook cult bait. I understand he's an adult and he made his own (very bad) choices. But those convoy assholes were sharks and this guy was chum.

to. Volunteer opportunities are all over the place. You don't have to be lonely.

Edit: To add that I have watched videos of former White Nationalists and they said they just wanted to belong to something. Maybe Democrats could think of a group to start to entice these people to our side. It seems they don't really care what the cause it They are just looking for meaning in their lives.
