Same with the movie Wall Street: it was meant as a cautionary tale about greed and callousness in modern society, but Reagan era yuppies ended up identifying with the villain.

Several decades later, they made the atrociously titled sequel "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" which had all the subtlety of a sledgehammer blow to the genitals and Trump cult members STILL managed to consider the obvious villain admirable.

I truly do not understand what makes people think that way.
