    Why do so many people like this guy? He’s not charismatic, he hasn’t done much good and has done a lot of bad, and yet so many people have become blue MAGAs (at least online). It’s not even a point of lesser evil for them, they like him!

      It is lesser evilism. They convince themselves Biden is good because their hatred of Trump and lack of theory leads them to reflexively take the side of the Democrats, and then gaslight themselves.
