LINK Capitol riot, conspiracies, extremism: Understanding de-radicalization

I know some folks on Ag.com are dealing with this.

"Radicalization is when someone accepts or believes in ideas that are considered extreme or outside the status quo, Altier said. When someone becomes radicalized, they are so committed to their extreme beliefs that they can't accept the fact that other people believe different things."

"Once someone becomes radicalized, they engage in what's called 'psychological reactance.'

'The more that you tell them something's wrong, the more they kind of dig in and believe it, especially if it's coming from a non-credible voice,' Altier said."
