Lyndon Larouche came to my high school (in New Hampshire) for the presidential primaries in 1988 and talked about antimatter as an energy source.

Years later I saw a picture of an Iranian woman holding a sign that said "Nuclear Power is a Human Right" and thought... She much be a LaRouchite.

I wound up voting for Diane Sare, another LaRouchite, for US Senate in New York this year even though I know they're a coercive organization like the Scientologists or the Longtermists and I disagreed with her position on Ukraine -- we had a really sad ballot this year since they made it much harder for 3rd party candidates to get one and she was the only one.

LaRouchites are the only people left who want to stamp out the Beatles but they are required to not only listen to only classical music but are only allowed to listen to Brahms and anything older. If I ran into a LaRouchite and wanted to make them squirm I would talk to them about Debussy.
