(4,243 posts)similar verbiage & mannerisms. Similar ways of attacking & denigrating. It's quite fascinating & terrifying at the same time. Trump controls his cult members as a cult leader would.

(4,243 posts)He smiles, he spins tales, he intimidates & bullies. He becomes menacing to the female interviewer when she does not fall for the BS. His voice goes up and down in a hypnotic way. He becomes physically animated as a distraction. He renounces any criminality, saying he's not responsible for other's actions. Manson is terrifyingly so much like trump.
Charles Milles Manson (né Maddox, November 12, 1934 November 19, 2017) was an American criminal and cult leader. In mid-1967, he formed what became known as the "Manson Family", a quasi-commune based in California. His followers committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969.

(19,979 posts)That's what the Los Angeles County district attorney believed.
The Manson Family developed into a doomsday cult when Manson became fixated on the idea of an imminent apocalyptic race war between America's Black population and the larger white population. A white supremacist, Manson believed that Black people in America would rise up and kill all whites except for Manson and his "Family", but that they were not intelligent enough to survive on their own; they would need a white man to lead them, and so they would serve Manson as their "master".
