because they love the social skills and charisma. and don’t forget the looks/image.
they don’t care about the quality of the leadership. most folks would gladly follow a charming person to their own doom.

Very true. They just have good social skills and or high charisma. You ever notice people love bad leaders though? Just look at any famous or notorious leader

People don’t love bad leaders, they love abusive leaders. Like the more pain they suffer for a leader, the more they need to love that leader for their suffering to make sense to themselves. Abusive leaders exploit that loophole of human psychology. It’s why cults form all the time and why people in cults are often forced to go door to door just to face the rejection that non-cultists give them. The rejection feom outsiders makes them cling to the cult harder.

Thank you. I grew up a Jehovah’s Witness, and that is the actual reason for door-to-door work. That and forcing you to spend a lot of time in order to build up one hell of a sunk cost fallacy for leaving. The actual rate of new people coming in from that is almost zero.

Bad can mean evil or it can mean incompetent. People don’t love incompetent leaders, but they do love evil ones. If a leader isn’t evil but they are seen as incompetent, people often hate them.
