20-30 years ago. He said that being crazy used to mean something but nowadays, everybody's crazy. That might not be exactly what he said, but it's very close.

Seriously, I've seen a few of Manson's prison rants and I see Trump in them!

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.

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.
