Sure, and if the thing they're changing their minds from is fucking Nazism, then I have a very hard time supporting their political aspirations.

Yeah, people can think/say/do stupid shit when they're young. Though let's be clear that there are levels to this, and we're talking about someone who was at Abu Ghraib and worked for Blackwater. This isn't just like a kid who got radicalized by gamer gate or something, who has grown out of it. This guy killed many people (and is on record saying that he was very ok with that).

A person can think/say/do stupid shit when young, and if they decide to run for office, I reserve the right to not only judge them, but refuse to ever support them.

To me, it's just not worth the risk.
