False gods
It is one thing to support a person, candidate, nominee, leader, but it is idolatry to see that individual as perfect, as flawless, as above reproach, as excusable for their sins and arrogance and viciousness. Hero worship is childish and dangerous. Remember Hitler? Americans are equal opportunity idolators: consider the disaster twins, Obama and Trump.
No candidate is perfect but there is something vitally wrong with the people who hold those leaders above criticism and something destructively wrong with those leaders who think they are worthy of such blind followship.
