Compare the crimes of Charles Manson to the crimes of Donald Trump.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson

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. Although the motive for the murders was disputed by Manson, the Los Angeles County district attorney believed that Manson intended to start a race war. In 1971, he was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of seven people, including the film actress Sharon Tate. The prosecution contended that, while Manson never directly ordered the murders, his ideology constituted an overt act of conspiracy. Manson was also convicted of first-degree murder for the deaths of Gary Hinman and Donald Shea.

He served his life sentence at California State Prison, Corcoran and died at age 83 in late 2017.

Store brands of various products often state on the label, "Compare to [name of well-known equivalent product]." They don't come out and say that the store brand is the same as the well-known product, they only suggest to customers that they should compare the two without openly implying anything.

Then add in all those who felt "inspired" by DFT to drive through crowds, shoot up churches, etc.
