I mean… it’s been 6 years. Very possible that she was fairly reasonable and he was apolitical 6 years ago, and they both moved in opposite directions from there.
6 years ago is a lot of time for internalized opinions to manifest. Especially now with how much ideology is thrown about and available on the internet and the state of the country, people who used to think “lol politics don’t matter” are slowly realizing otherwise.
