*serious hat on* If you'd like to blame Trump or the Republican Party for the mail bombings, the guy does seem to be a Trumpist so you've at least got some standing. I would object because I think people are responsible for their own actions and political rhetoric is always combative so it's a bit cheap to try to score points when a nutter on the other side transgresses, but seems reasonable the guy was directly influenced by Trump's rhetoric so I guess it's not completely an unfair tie. Blaming Trump for the shooting in Pittsburgh or suggesting the GOP is pro-Nazi or whatnot is pretty gross and dumb. Try not to do that. *serious hat off*

Manson was the charismatic leader of the Manson Family, a quasi-commune (cult really) that he formed in California in the late 1960s. Manson believed in an impending apocalyptic race war, which he termed "Helter Skelter," after the Beatles’ song of the same name.

Charles Manson was convicted on seven counts of first-degree murder for his role in the killings.

This is despite the fact that he never murdered anyone himself during the family’s killing spree.

The judge concluded that when his followers committed murder for him it was the same as if Manson had done it himself.

“Good people on both sides,” “Take him out on a stretcher,” “I’ll play your legal fees,” “anyone who can body slam is my kind of guy,” “Enemy of the people.” This is a man who incites people to violence. Given the power of his pulpit he bears an even greater responsibility. In any truly civilized country he would be in jail for incitement to murder.

I'm honestly considering packing it up and moving out of state if he wins. Good chance that after next Tuesday Bob Casey will be the only person representing me at any level of government.
