The president's base seems to think destroying our democracy is funny, entertaining.

they are enjoying watching a reality show, they are living a reality show

we were watching a film with a section on WWI. American Soldiers are climbing out of the trench to attack. One man relaxes and slides back down into the trench. The class laughed. After it was over, the Teacher (who had stormed the beach in Normandy) told us that the Soldier in the film had been shot in the forehead.
