The Magic of WWE - the popular bad guy phenomenon

I think I'm beginning to understand now what 45's appeal to the Idiocracy. (And, quite frankly, it's making my head hurt and stomach ache).

It's not that they don't know he's - e'hem - a scoundrel. It's that they find him amusing. He does daily what they would like to do. It's not "will he be good for the country, rather will he amuse and excite me?" And in their enthusiasm they fail to understand how the chaos will adversely affect their own interests. 

Some people find him amusing, despite acknowledging his negative qualities. Rather than evaluating whether he would be good for the country, these individuals prioritize being entertained and excited by him. Truth and goodness holds no entertainment value. 

This phenomenon can be observed in various contexts, where individuals may be drawn to charismatic or entertaining figures, even if they possess questionable qualities or behaviors. This can be attributed to various factors, such as the desire for escapism, the entertainment value of controversial or outrageous actions, or a sense of rebellion against traditional norms.

However, it's important to note that the appeal of such individuals can be subjective, and different people may have varying opinions on what is entertaining or admirable. Additionally, it's crucial to consider the potential consequences of supporting someone primarily for their amusement value, as their actions and decisions can have significant impacts on society and the country as a whole.
