Some backstory as to why this belongs in here;
Since I've been attending law school I've been living in an apartment in Newark with a person I thought was generally pretty sane, if a little wound up and straight-laced. Same age as me too. However, since the 2008 elections I've been noticing a marked.....drift in his personality. Example, our house is now plastered in American Flags (which I keep having to take down) so that "they'll know a REAL patriot lives here!".
Ok, that's nothing too strange, just a bit over eager. It's gotten worse lately. The newest thing is shrieking at me if my girlfriend spends the night, since "we're not married and that's a sin against the lord". Never heard that before from him, considering he had a girl over all the time. Furthermore, I come home to see post-it notes on my door remarking "I really hope you don't join the ACLU and I don't have to report you for treason" and "You need to watch THIS" with a web address pointing to increasingly....strange conspiracy theories. But I've honestly lived with far worse, I can take living with a fundie if he stays out of my hair.
Then I come home to this today;
I enter with a fellow student to have lunch and discuss something from moot court. No big deal, done it a hundred times and I always clean up the resulting mess from our grease-truck lunch. After said friend leaves, my roomie storms out into the living room. I wonder what I've done to set him off, thinking I paid the utilities for both of us this month and have more or less kept to my self as exams loom large.
I proceed to be on the recieving end of the most vile, racist tirade I've heard outside of a video about klan meetings. About how I'm letting 'them' into our home when they're probably spies for the democrats. He wants me to sign an agreement saying we'll only let whites into the apartment from now on and invest in a fancy new security system.
I'm honestly rather terrified about this guy's personality shift. Do I call his folks and tell them their son's gone schizo? Quickly beg to move in with my girlfriend while I look for a new place?
