Because as a society we've forgotten how to throw bricks at bad people

Worse, we're throwing piles of money at them.

"but they're entertaining!"

This right here. Germans thought Hitler was "entertaining", too, for a while.

That was the whole premise behind r/the_donald back on Reddit, and it started as irony and then the numbskulls who don't get or don't care about "irony" and "satire" showed up and meme'd Trump to four nightmarish years as President.

I know he's not Hitler or anything, but the book of Hitler's speeches on his nightstand that his ex-wife told us about tells us he definitely admired Hitler, absolutely disgusting.

He could very well become as bad as Hitler, I think he’s the same kind of psychopath. The parallels are uncanny, AH and Trump are both ridiculous figures that’s why they are underestimated until it’s too late. Also the speech on January 6th and the accompanying video are fully, unapologetically β€œNazi” to a degree Goebbels would have been proud (the β€œwe’ve been so nice to them”) speech.
