      he grew up poor and ethnically mixed, one side of his family Latino and the other side white. Told me he never quite fit in anywhere, was rebellious as a kid and joined gangs. Got an assault charge or something at 18, spent some time in jail, found Christianity. Once he came out he became obsessively fixated on UFOs and something in his head clicked regarding UFOs, treatment of Latino people, and American enforcement of poverty. He’s apparently come to a conclusion that UFOs are a government program to distract people away from Christianity, and this is why poverty and hatred are widespread. Says the only solution to that is love for everyone, and I do believe he means it, not in a cynical way. He just doesn’t fully understand what he’s saying. He also fell deep into Qanon and believes there are Satanic pedophiles everywhere who snatch kids out of parking lots to harvest adrenochrome

      He’s one of the most deranged people I’ve ever met and yet you’re right, he’s deeply compassionate and nice. He’ll give anyone a ride in his truck, he donates food to his church. He’s pleasant and friendly in conversation. He even has a few trans friends?

      Believe me, I am a little scared of the guy though, because there are some weird cogs moving around in his skull
