There is a strange phenomenon that occurs in movie theaters from time to time. That is when many in the audience cheer for the bad guy (s) to win. Is there a scientific basis for it?

Could that be what is going on with Trump?   Does whatever the folks in the audience cheer when the bad guys  score the same thing that is going on with the Trump audience? What is it exactly that causes such a phenomenon? I know some women are always attracted to the "bad boys". Are some men attracted to them too? Do they wish they could be a bad boy and get away with the things Trump seems to be getting away with? Is that his appeal?

    It all depends on whos perspective your takeing when you view certain films ....ie from the Indians standpoint of the Cowboys stance when the slaughtered millions of the indigenous population when they stole their lands from them....the English ,French ,Spanish ,Portuguese ,Italian ,Germans ,Russian and so many others have done the same.....
    Being born into the era I was brought up in and with so much true information freely available on the web I was allowed to form my own views of what's right and wrong....hence I never cheered in films where the Indians lost the battle .

    Great question bye the way....:)

     I think you finally got it!  So many folks are fed up with the feds. They spend our money like it was their right. Now we have an $18 trillion debt. Do you ever hear the liberals concerned about it? The rainbows and unicorns will protect them.

     Hi Nj. Thank you for the compliment. We were taught that the Indians were the bad guys when I was a kid. After I grew up I learned the awful truth. Thank you for your thoughtful answer and Happy Saturday! :)

    It's happening all over again in Israel and can not perceive it in anyother way.....the Israelies want all of the Palestinian lands and won't be happy until they've aniilated all of them....
    I find it sad that no other nation steps in to help the weak and down trodden .....

    I'm afraid money and greed will alway win over between right and wrong....the so called civerlized world should be ashamed and taken to task over their neglect

    I'm with you honey. Things are not going well in the world and except for all the empty talk the movers and shakers don't seem to give a rat's a**. Just as Trump wants Russia to take back whatever lands Putin wants the world (except for a few nations) wants Israel's dictator Netanyahu to get everything he wants. I think there will be a day of reckoning and it won't be pretty. Happy Sunday Nj! :) ((hugs))
