Any experience and how to handle

Not sure this is the right place but dont know where is!

DH has an adult son by first wife who he has had little/no contact with for 5+years. The reasons are many and complex.

In recent weeks DS has been in contact with IL's and seems keen to reconnect with family. We have also discovered he has some racist/political views that are verging on extreme.

Last weekend we arranged to see him (SD obviously) and it seems a relationship may be in the future and both sides are wanting to leave the past in the past. This is excellent news.

However his views are an issue (suffice to say the words 'Oswald Mosely was taken all wrong came from his mouth)

We are going to run with things for now but hope we can maybe change/temper his opinions by supporting him and showing him different things. He is currently out of work and has decided main stream media is very much being used to control us so spends his days reading political publications.

I am not sure its at the stage of being called radicalisation but am concerned.

WWYD?

I think you can have a relationship with him without sharing his rather out there political views. I just wouldn't engage with the political conversation. If he persists with it, or tries to convert you to his thinking, then contact needs to be limited, or have a rule of 'no religion, no politics'. People avoid these conversations as they often result in fall outs. Nipping it in the bud conversation wise is obviously better. If he persists, difficult decisions may need to be made. How have things gone since you posted?
