Maybe everyone should listen to the Jonestown tape at some point. It's truly horrible, but may provide some inoculation against demagoguery.
They were told the poison was painless so they gave it to the kids first. The tapes show that the kids were in agony and the parents were freaking out, to the point where many wanted to leave and not take the poison but they were forced to at gunpoint
Oh! And be sure not to forget the part where Jim Jones then proceeded to turn his gun on himself and take the quick death instead of suffering the way he forced everyone else to.
Funny how often monsters turn out to be cowards as well. History rhymes, I guess.

Nah, our charismatic dirtbag is different.
