This is what consumer culture does to the brain. Yes, these people expect politicians to "sell" them on ideology. What they mean is they expect to be flattered and have all their thinking done for them, just like Tick Tock and Insta.
It's endemic on the right and common on the left for people to have this "customer service" attitude toward politics.
Of course very few people are actually persuaded by anything they didn't already believe, but it gives them agency of choice to imagine that they went with the side that was the best value proposition I guess.
