At least we had one last talk.
I spent about an hour-patiently winning every argument he made one at a time. And at the end his response was why not just give him a chance. I can't believe a person I respected could turn into such a malignant tool.
He used to respect my opinion. Would call & ask for it even.
After the talk I realized no amount of facts or common sense will change a magat. They are true victims of a long term brainwashing campaign.
