22. seeing a president as a monster hits too close to home for me. I want a different type of escapist fantasy with my TV Presidents
I can certainly understand that first sentence, but the second one makes me go "Wow!" because I suspect that is the complete opposite of what I want in President-type figures in my tv shows (I don't think I would separate out Presidents and, say, Starfleet Captains, and want different things in them -- though never having seen The West Wing or anything like it I can't actually say for sure).
Then in (23) we get the interesting contrast where I never was and still never am especially into the villainous characters except in rare instances (and those usually -- always? -- when there is a lot more to the character than their villainousness).
