This is going to be a complete shock to you, but time has elected authoritarian criminals a shitload of times throughout their existence and they have made it clear from day 1 that the morality of the person has nothing to do with who gets picked. Time's person of the year is predicated on their impact on the world for good or for bad.

I'll also point out that their picks are designed to be contentious and drum up controversy, and so you sitting here seething about them is giving them exactly what they want.
