This pithy, stupid comment is completely missing the forest for the trees. Most of these people have long histories of being the villain. Treating them as villains because of their history of being villains isn't what caused them to be villains.
I'm not talking about those people. I'm talking about villains, like Trump and Musk, Kash Patel, Mitch McConnel, the people we treat as villains because they have shown us repeatedly that's what they are.
