Lex Luthor is as a concept, a corrupt self serving villain who readily sacrifices his underlings to get ahead. But gains popularity and power anyway.

The difference is that in the cartoon universe, they had to make up a believable reason why the US citizens would vote for Lex. Ex: invented a Kryptonite power plant or something.

In the real world, it turns out you can just demonize immigrants.

The analogy I've used is that Nixon's Southern Strategy was like beer; Reagan's rhetoric was like grain alcohol punch; Bush Jr. fed them straight whisky; Trump gave them meth.
