What I can’t fully comprehend is that some people idealize clearly awful leaders, terrible personalities, with criminal records… like I read about a rich politician (from Poland? Slovakia? Not sure anymore but some catholic country) who had like twelve kids with eleven women but very popular particularly among the female voters, often with an argument that he is very pro-family based because he can take care of his children. His political party is rather conservative, I think, in power now.
