Imagine having more money than an entire city and still being a dweeb who has to fall in line behind an old man

An old man...that is so evil and inept that he bankrupted many casinos and raped children.

You know, I'm ok with people riding on other people's coattails, it's a way of life that's been done for centuries and centuries. However if a person chooses to stand behind a kiddie fiddling, casino bankrupting, woman assaulting, failed reality TV starring, felony having, blatant racist and convicted rapist then that person is almost as bad.

And in some ways it makes them a worse person. "Ok, I know this person did all this absolutely terrible shit...yet this is the guy I follow" is pretty much admitting you'd do the same shit. Or that you have done it, but you were so good at hiding it all that you won't get caught out. Or you are so useless that you won't get away with it so you won't try it, but you really want to.
The real tragedy is why these obvious drains on society are still alive.
