He was popular because Roman Citizens were low IQ cucks that saw his land reforms (re-distribution) and increased grain dole (free gimmees) as something other than theft.
And worst of all, Caesar did not do these things out of principle, but because he knew it would make him popular and he was intent on using that popularity as a tool to consolidate the absolute power he sought. Same tactic his generosity with his troops was for -- No general who genuinely loves his troops sends them to a war with nothing to gain other than your personal power.
He was an anti democratic tyrant hellbent on absolute power who saw the useful idiots for what they were millennia before Lenin or Stalin. His troops were in on the take and hated the senate for blocking the man who enriched them, and the public couldn't see two feet beyond free shit.
Caesar was a socialist

What was Cicero's description of Caesar? Ruthless and Resilient?
