I call this syndrome, "Death by Red Pills." Rather than Matrix's red pill, it's Qanon/MAGA red pill. His transition was gradual, the very first clue was him parroting Qanon craps in Joe Rogan interview and I called it a few years ago.
He spew hate, get validation from his peers, and so it become a feedback loop with him alienating sane people and finding solace with the Qanon/MAGA people and before he know it, he become a mindless radicalized drone of the hate-hivemind. Today, he can't help, but keep parroting the same talking points as MAGA on almost every single issue and giving them one extra tool to facilitate that hate like a useful tool. He is almost literally in his own mind prison.
Yeah, this is a common cycle of transphobic love bombing pulling people further right. Rowling is a pretty similar story.
