It's probably the same reason "outrage porn" exists for both Dems and Republicans.
"Senator from backwoods middle of nowhere [R] said racist thing!"
"Drag queen exists in a small town"
"Immigrant man did criminal thing!"
Etc.
It activates some sort of pleasure zone in our brains. IDK why or how but I think political junkies get entertainment from this kind of content. Like we know it's going to upset us but we can't look away. Wish I knew how to stop it.
