.... that believe their PERFECT political candidate exists, and that every other candidate is awful and corrupt. (and they insult and disdain anyone who doesn't share their reverence for their chosen one).

Then they project that image of perfection on to the chosen demigod they have created in their head. Naturally, in time, they realize their demigod is not really a demigod after all. Reality eventually sets in. Their perfect candidate (who never actually existed) becomes the awful corrupt one, and a new demigod is anointed.

For a recent example see Obama 2007 and Obama 2015.
