1. "Look, Charles Manson wouldn't kill a bug! He said it!"

“The Charlie Manson that you’ve created, that’s not me. That’s only an illusion in your minds, it hasn’t got anything to do with me.”
- Charles Manson, 1985 Nuell Emmons interview

“I’ve done nothing I’m ashamed of. Nothing I couldn’t face God with. I wouldn’t kill a bug.”
- Charles Manson, 1987 Life Magazine interview

"I’m not saying I’m not capable of doing it myself, but I’m just saying this: I did not do that. And I could’ve proved it in a court of law.”
- Charles Manson, 1997 parole hearing

2. The guy who ordered the Japanese internment? Maybe not the best comparison.

3. Another topic

But yes...horrendous.

5. No, not another topic.

And the guy who met with Stalin in February, 1945, (ironically given modern events in Crimea), on his death bed, and surrendered Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union? Not a great example.

6. "If FDR had Trump's attitude, he might act on racist impulses!"

Come the fuck on. Shitty metaphors get shitty followers.

4. He'd put Japanese citizens in some kind of jail

7. Shoulda let Germans win, or instead Hoover re-elected in 1932?

Major mistakes, but seriously...

From FDR to This is unbelievable..

To add, so maybe FDR shouldn't have created all the labor & economic legislation, programs that he did, or built the middle class?

Or won 3 more elections, and formed the winning platform of the Democratic Party for the next 70 years?

And not saved capitalism? Let the US be taken over by German Nazis & internal American Bund fascists, or communists?

This requires major brainwork..
