I'm sorry for you losing your friend.

Have you ever seen the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad"? It's 10 years old, but still relevant. The filmmaker describes how listening to AM radio during commutes turned her otherwise compassionate nonpolitical father into the type of person your friend became. Not a new story, but good nonetheless.
