The answer to the OP is "drugs" and "ego" (killed Tate over a mistaken connection to someone he sought revenge over rejection of his music.)
Trump is trying to do a few important
things about the drug problems your party purposely ignores or fights against opposition to drugs and their networks.
Killing over ego of being rejected is Hillary's and the progressive cartel's expertise.

What started Charles Manson on his road to insanity?

His mom. She was a prostitute in Cincinnati.

Manson had an abusive childhood. His mother was 16 and an alcoholic when Charlie was born. After her marriage broke up she placed Charlie in a boy’s home wanting nothing more to do with him.

I would think that lack of a caring family or decent home life was the root cause of his turning to petty crime and drugs.

What started Charles Manson on his road to insanity?

His upbringing. His mother was a prostitute, unmarried. He didn't know who his father was, probably one of her Johns. As bad childhoods go, his was pretty bad and he spent most of his youth in juvenile detention and then prison. That doesn't excuse anything. All of us are given trials and what we do with our lives is a result of individual choices. He was a very bad person and made all the wrong choices. He was mentally ill, obviously.

Some would say it was The Beatles' White Album.

But, in 1990 someone gave Charlie the CD release. After listening to it again, Charlie said, "These new CDs have such clarity! I guess I was wrong trying to interpret Helter Skelter on vinyl."

What started Charles Manson on his road to insanity?

Mescaline. For me it was the opener of greatness but for him it was a dark road. And then the deep nightmare that comes with not understanding the beast it is.

Drugs.

 

[Meathead]

Manson was a delinquent at a very early age. Father unknown, mother homeless hooker, raised in part by God-fearing grandparents, arrested for burglary at 12, buggered in juvy by older kids and born a psychopath to boot.

It was almost inevitable.

 

[Marion Morrison]

He was a state baby. Perfect example of a "village" raising a child.

Not that up to date, what crime does this weirdo commit?

Not that up to date, what crime does this weirdo commit?

Lot's of petty crimes though oddly enough he is only believed to have killed two people himself. His infamy is in his guiding a group of hippies to commit the Tate and Biancha murders - about 7 grisly murders in two wealthy homes, plus one ranch worker.

Let's not make excuses for Manson people. Glad he's dead.

Mirror to Richard Pryor raised in a brothel, but he used humor instead of violence, because even though he succombed to drugs too, he was humble.

 

[WillMunny]

He was born and/or raised that way. If I remember correctly, even before the murders he was a lifelong walking crime wave - you name the crime, Manson probably did it at some point or another. Maybe he was a black man magically trapped inside a white man's body.

That is not the correct interpretation of the concept.

Oh yes it is.

It's the ultimate example.

The point is that the state was completely useless. It can and never will replace responsible parenting. There would be far less crime and violence if it could. All it can do now is feed these people until they become adult thugs and so old enough to prey on others.
