There are authoritarians in every country. I donāt get the appeal - you have to think less I guess? less responsibility? - but lots of people seem eager to give up their voice if they think the person getting the power will use it against the people they donāt like.
The key is to get them to realize that eventually someone who doesnāt like them is going to get the power - maybe? But I think Iāve also heard that some of these preferences are down to physical brain structure that determines sensitivity to fear and empathy
