Leaving extremist movements is usually a gradual process involving cognitive dissonance rather than a single event.

It really is different for everybody, but usually it doesn't happen like a snap of a finger. You know, like, I could, you know, like we were talking about hundreds of people that have left the movement. I can think of just like on one hand, the people that have left over like one act of kindness or one simple thing. Very few people do that. It's usually a process. So they're going through this shift in thinking, kind of like I was, and they're questioning it. They're questioning, like, well, there's a lot of cognitive dissonance. There's a lot of confirmation bias that takes place. And they're having experiences sometimes with people of other races that helps, you know, where it doesn't fit the narrative of the movement, what's being spewed.
