The broader point is we need to welcome back our friends and neighbours if/when they break whatever it is that got them down this road or they'll just turn around and go deeper and that helps exactly no one. The people can't just disappear, so the only hope is that they change their minds. I have some great friends and family members that have being warped by this nonsense and the second they come to me and suggest they might have been wrong it will be a sigh of relief and point to celebrate, not attack them for. Because I want them back in my life (for the most part).

But until then we can laugh at them, right?
