@Rachel_Thorn For sure. I occasionally think about how even some deeper down the rabbit hole might realise their mistakes but they know they have to stay committed to the bit. They've stoked a virulent and dangerous group that they can unleash whenever, and they fear being on the receiving end not just as a one-off, but as a renowned "turncoat" they'd get it for longer and worse.
How does one save these people from what they've done? Genuinely no idea.
