trump is what a Charles Manson presidency would look like.

I'll put together a formal piece after I finish moving, but here are some bullet points I have so far.

Who, trump or Manson...

Used language to make followers feel included and protected from "them"?

Preached that black man was going to rise up, turn the cities to a war of racial revenge and that only he could keep his followers safe. Wanted to start a full race war in the streets of America?

Preyed on the easily controlled?

Convinced people to commit horrible violence in his name?

"I am just a mirror". "Anything you see in me is you."?

Lesser known but far more cunning than manson.

When I finished reading a book about him I was actually afraid someone like that existed.
