It also makes the left broadly look like people who character-worship their own "leader" just like the right has "their guy."

I can't speak for all liberals, but I kind of think this is one of the primary "dividing lines" between the political spectrums in America. There are the people who latch onto simple narratives and power-structures like "USA GOOD LEADER GOOD" and people who are very skeptical of power and look at your government like OUR employees and should be held to account no matter what their politics are. Both sides keep projecting their own values onto the other and are making ZERO progress because of this.
