If it did seem like a cult of personality around Bernie during the primaries, it was probably because the only other major candidate considered left (Warren) routinely exposed herself as an opportunistic liar. When a person is the only one pushing a point of view that has a large enough base of support, and their opponents are hellbent on stopping them, it’s understandable for the candidate’s supporters to deify them.

Heh, I remember when a similar cult formed around Dearest Leader, and still persists.
