23. Sadly, that has occurred to me many times

Lonesome Rhodes fans turned on him without hesitation, but today's followers just double down and make excuses for their leader.

I would have thought that being we have more access to information today, that people would be less gullible, but I was way off in that regard. We get so many messages just from mainstream entertainment, but there are people who will boo a villainous grifter in a movie or TV show, yet fail to see an all too obvious one in real life. Surely no one could look at Biff Tannen (Back to the Future) and think he'd make a good president.
