will probably never change. 30 years ago when she moved out of the house that she rented with my sister and her friend she had left pro-Nazi literature under her bed I found out. I ignored it, hoping she was going through a phase since she was an artist/hippie type of person. Her last Christmas card told me that she drank the Kool-aid and is definitely one of them still. My sister wasn't as hopeful as I was and unfriended her long ago. Oh well...
I do wonder how she has raised her two young adult kids who live at home still. I know that her husband's family is also pro-Nazi and live close by. I do not think they will change their attitude if they are in that environment, even if they become the minority as years pass. It will only strengthen and reinforce their anger about their white entitlement as the chip on their shoulder becomes bigger and heavier.
