People have a hard time understanding the nuances and the context. Because he is somewhat crazy, he is able to do things a normal politician wouldn't do. Clearly, eliminating corruption and waste is a good thing. He was also able to end the endless street protests. He was also the only option that was expected to make radical changes. On the other hand, the guy is pretty crazy, lacks empathy, is authoritarian, hates dissent, lies a lot, and so on. He is in love with Israel and Trump in an emotional way. Everything he doesn't like is extreme left, etc. My hope is that a new force will emerge that can continue fighting corruption, establish rule of law, create a vibrant market economy in a democratic way. It will be a long journey.
