Liberals are unable to grasp "leader does good things and is beloved for it" because none of their leaders ever get around to the first part.

I'll go a step further and say that it seems like liberals actually hate the idea of someone getting elected by promising to do what the people want and then actually doing it. Deep down liberals really don't even actually like democracy
