They unconsciously identify with the fictional character in power. The morality of a play, bible verse, movie, or song doesn't register with them. It's just noise.

Stereotypical kung fu movies start with an evil master killing many innocent people (but missing that one child buried in the rubble). This establishes them as evil. That one child grows up and, at the end of the movie, does their own mass killing, but the normal viewer knows they are applying justice.

RW viewers are unaware of, or disinterested in, the distinction.
