it's also completely possible that your Republican friends "liked" Bernie in the same way that they "like" Carter: they recognize that he's a good guy personally, but dislike his politics enough to not vote for him.

Apt name.

No they liked that he was an honest politician who wasn't afraid to speak his mind. Then Trump kind of ran away with that and that's what they like about Trump now even though it's all BS.

Also I never said they were my friends.

I don't understand the whole "he speaks his mind" appeal with trump. Drunk people speak their minds too, but most of what they say is pointless, just like with trump. I prefer someone who puts their thoughts together into intelligible messages, rather than babbling their entire stream of consciousness.

They're idiots, he's an unapologetic idiot who acts smart. He makes them feel smart. He makes them feel better about their shitty opinions.
