(16,844 posts)which makes them easy to divide into classifications. Trumpy and Manson are both in the narcissistic sociopath cult-leader club. They had very different circumstances in their upbringing, but they both turned out to be the same type of person. Trumpy, having been born into wealth and privilege, had more people to cover for him, so managed to stay undetected until late in life, but he proved to be far, far more dangerous than Manson could ever have been. Manson wished he could have been Trumpy.

(28,254 posts)They meant "Anti-Black People" when they said it, but it used to be a thing. Their use of the term will be subject to ridicule, after the way they've let trump run over and trash voting results in states, during the last few days. Small comfort, I know.
