      I’m guessing he was a bigot long before he tried a single drug and certainly long before social media.

      Because those things do not cause bigotry.

        While that could be true, they sure cause metastasizing bigotry.

          Maybe, but I think in his case, what those things (and his mental illness) do is remove his filter.

          When he wasn’t open about it, it was still right there, barely beneath the surface.
