I just saw [this tweet](https://twitter.com/CynthiaLMason/status/1583612899263598595/photo/1) in my feed. The tweet shows an American flag in the background, a man who is dressed like Jesus placing his hands on Tan the Conman, and this great text: > LOL! Trumpers are sharing this photo all over Facebook – without realizing that it’s Charles Manson… That made my day! ---

To be fair, when I looked at it I didn’t recognize Manson either. The only photo of Manson I remember is this one. [![](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~H4AAOSwuT1i7AUe/s-l1600.jpg) ](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~H4AAOSwuT1i7AUe/s-l1600.jpg) ---

FWIW, that photo has been floating around for a while, and a couple of years ago I posted it in some pro-Trump social media threads and it got lots of likes and upvotes. ---

And none of that would’ve changed even if it had been a photo of Manson with the swastika he carved into his own forehead. Strike that. It would’ve changed. It would’ve garnered more likes and upvotes. ---

I doubt it. But I, at least, did think there was someone stupid enough to use a picture of Manson in as Jesus, and I was highly disappointed when it turned out not to be the case. ---
