I think it just gets too personal for them. A million is a statistic.

Or maybe it's a different set of rules diluted from or diluted into what we see in media today. The villain gets a chance at redemption while the faceless mooks just fall down and dispose of themselves.

But with a single figure like trump, it's personal connection and the chance to be the bigger person. Just prove him wrong and you can change the world without a big disruption of the status quo.

Can't have one of your betters die off, just put more faceless people into the meat grinder.
