32 percent of Americans believe a military regime or authoritarian leader would be a good way of governing the country.
32 percent of Americans believe a military regime or authoritarian leader would be a good way of governing the country.
Donald Trump’s strongman image is a plus for many voters.
Meanwhile, 44 percent backed the American tradition of competing branches of government as a model, if sometimes “frustrating,” system.
Why would people want to live under an authoritarian’s thumb? It’s rooted, experts say, in a psychological need for security—real or perceived—and a desire for conformity, a goal that becomes even more acute as the country undergoes dramatic demographic and social changes. People also like to obey a strong leader who will protect the group—especially if it is the “right” group whose interests will be protected. Recall the Trump supporter who, during the 2019 government shutdown, complained, “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

I'm not sure I find the idea of a 4Channer with a wife plausible.
Introducing, the female 4channer. Enjoy!
Was that from before he was elected?
