"The world was going down the tubes.
They needed a scapegoat. They found Wayne".
A scapegoat is one made to bear the blame of others. In times past there were witch hunts, looking to blame someone for things that did not go well. Leaders of nations can use that to great effect to deflect criticism for their short comings. Mao Tse Tung did this during his disastrous reign.
How much better to reason on things and work to correct problems. That achieves something, whereas turning on someone doesn't. Otherwise, a terrible injustice is the result but the problem remains. We or another person could end up like Gary Larson's Wayne.
