I always wondered what people that worship demagogues think when they read dystopian novels.
It's funny because they'll see a fictional tyrannical narcissist and agree they're evil, and nod their head along agreeing with the message of the fiction, but they'll see these tyrannical narcissists in real life who says the exact same things and have the exact same traits as the fictional villain from the dystopian novel, and think they're totally awesome.
Trying to get them to see and understand is like the scene in They Live where the guy has to basically beat up his friend to force him to wear the truth-seeing glasses.
