"is there something in psychology where people who got duped by sociopaths try to be like 'well he was still a really nice guy' once it's revealed they got duped by a sociopath?"

The feeling that you've been deceived and hurt almost always leads to anger. Once people feel that sense of personal violation.... its a feeling you can't get rid of. Anger is here just delayed. Watch

People tend to stick with decisions they’ve already made—especially if those decisions were public. This bias is well-documented in psychology. Once someone publicly defends or trusts a person, it's mentally uncomfortable to reverse that stance. Also, humans are more easily influenced by people they like—especially those who are attractive, charismatic, or friendly. If someone seems nice or made them feel good, they’re more likely to excuse bad behavior later. Effective salespeople use these exact techniques—winning trust through charm, securing small commitments, and creating rapport. Once you've said “yes” or endorsed someone, you're more likely to keep justifying that stance, even in the face of contrary evidence.

Cognitive dissonance is a bitch. I grapple out loud. I’m mostly wondering about two possibilities. Is it it sociopathy? Or is it addiction? maybe it’s neither but having had experience with these two personalities, I personally think exploring it matters It probably does come off like we’re not considering people affected but I think that is a function of processing something so shocking. Ultimately, I like reconciliation in all the various forms that takes. But also I’m keenly aware sometimes clean breaks are needed. See “Benevolent Narcissist”

I really don't think you need to overanalyze it: people like free money. you see it with cartel leaders all the time. people in small villages consider them saints for providing the capital for a way of life the government failed to give them.
