There was emotional support pumpkin pie and a couple pizzas from Costco in the first couple weeks after the election. Things are calming down just in time for a deep fried 12 lb turkey. For two adults.
Serious reply to an off the cuff remark but I heard some of the details about the sexual assault perpetrated by Hegseth and apparently (allegedly) he targeted a woman who called him out on his creeper behavior toward other women.
So yeah, young women wouldn't have bought what Charlie was selling.
Hard disagree. His methods would be the same, but the medium through which he recruited people would be different. Drugs, racism, and paranoia are still just as rampant as they were then.
Charles Manson, the guy who literally tried to start a race war all because he wanted to keep screwing barely legal hippie chicks in the desert and race dune buggies.
Hard to imagine they would have been able to squat on that old fake western TV set ranch for so long with developers sniffing around trying to turn it all into condos.
I've been writing Wikitree profiles of people who died in Auschwitz to relax, which also sounds weird when told to anyone else. (But it is relaxing - I can look up information and document things to honor the dead. Which makes me feel better, even if it doesn't make sense that it would.)
I was also going to suggest that book - and of course the amazing series that Karina Longworth did on Manson in her You Must Remember This podcast. Essential.
Definitely a magnetic cult leader effective at becoming integral to his adherents' identities who never actually killed anybody himself but inspired and instigated violence. Trump I mean.

The old world DSM has abandoned us all.
It’s probably the rage, also maybe the sorrow and fear. I’d just kicked depression and anxiety into the long grass, too.
But hey! We might all die tomorrow in a nuclear war!
