That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard from you (and that’s up against some pretty stiff competition).

Lots of people still think the Russians, or the mob or the Cubans killed JFK. But the mundane truth is that one man Lee Harvey Oswald, did it all by himself.
There is no doubt that Manson and Hitler caused huge distress . But the mundane truth is that just like Oswald, they were simply sick frustrated individuals taking it out on a world they viewed as rejecting them. The only difference is degree of influence and power.
If you don't want an asshole like the former guy in power, it would do you good to understand his personality and upbringing, and not just focus on what he did in his rise or while in power.
The only difference between Mason and Trump was economics.
Hitler and Manson and Trump all employed the same tactics of fear and otherism and selling themselves as the only cure that Jim Jones did. Just like Lee Harvey Oswald was convinced by others, that by killing JFK, he'd bring back a better day.
The "cult of personality" isn't class based, although once it reaches political levels, it can spiral.

Well done - you’ve achieved a new personal best.
