I expect to lose many friends over this, but it was totally worth it.

I would actually be very curious about that, and I agree that a lot of the radicalization is from their Fox/brietbart diet and their churches, but I'm not confident in the assertion that most of them don't read. I'm sure someone has studied this, but I never thought to go check if there was any evidence that books were part of the problem; I'll have to go try and find out, thanks for the suggestion!

sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that, I meant what you said previously: "Freedom is not a one-way road I don't care if a fascist wants to be a fascist. The red line with me is if they are an actual threat". I feel like sometimes their literature is what triggers the actual threat.

I do think it's a bit more complicated than that, some speech is actively harmful even if it's not physically threatening, and it's not just "let them be a fascist over there", because this sort of thing radicalizes people who do go out and hurt others.
But also I don't feel confident that this makes it okay to remove them because who am I to judge that? I just that I don't think the portrayal of them as harmless is accurate.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately; I sometimes see books I disagree with in one of the many Little Free Libraries near me, and while I leave most of them alone I can never quite figure out where that line is. If it's outright hate speech, I normally remove it, but I don't feel great about it and still can't really decide if it's okay to do or not.

out of curiosity, what's wrong with ProtonMail? I've never used it but people have told me it's an easier way to do secure email, so I assumed that would be good?
Also, happy to help setup PGP for Thunderbird if anyone needs. It really is an unbelievable PITA, the whole system is so unbelievably bad and it drives me nuts that security people never actually consider "is my user interface easy to use without accidentally doing things wrong and compromising the whole system".
