No but there exist a lot of "intellectuals" who effectively support a populist position but then vote for the exact opposite for what amounts to disagreements over style. That tells me they more highly regard style than substance, and I have no respect for people like that.

I am not sure it's just differences in style. Biden wanted to raise taxes on the rich and corporations, for example. And many other things.
Trump was a good first step in populism, but there's a long way to go. I think a Josh Hawley could win many people on the left over, that is, if he isn't smeared to death before 2024.
But why? Surely being a good guy is not dependent on supporting Trump.
