Like in Star Wars, are they legit rooting for the empire? I don't see how they can relate with or enjoy the journey of Luke Skywalker and the plight of the rebels
Do they root for Scar in The Lion King? Make the pridelands great again? This might seem tongue and cheek but I legitimately do not see them rooting for the good guys. It wouldn't make any sense at all ... Copied to Clipboard!

Couldn't stand the rebels in the original trilogy. Wookies suck, Ewoks are worse. Do they root for Scar in The Lion King? Make the pridelands great again? How does that even make sense in your mind? This might seem tongue and cheek but I legitimately do not see them rooting for the good guys.

Most Americans don't have coherent enough politics, moral standards, or media literacy to really think that hard about the films they consume. Look in this topic, people literally just like some villains because they are "cool", it's just surface level analysis.

I think it depends on the movie more than anything. A lot of typical action films with a male lead appeal directly to the power fantasies of conservative males. (Well, males in general, but I don't think it's an accident that a lot of action films feature ambiguously queer antagonists.)
My conservative coworkers are the type to say that Thanos was right though, so perhaps there is some rooting for the villains. --- Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't.
