    Authoritarian populism sounds stable in an unstable world, and most people aren’t dedicated enough to know the impacts of policies.

      Exactly. It offers easy answers to complicated questions especially attractive to people who are to dumb and/or tired to bother trying to understand complex reality.

      Looking for blame in a vague “other” is also easier than to face your personal shortcomings. (“I’m not out of a job because I’m lazy, it’s those damn immigrants!” “The fact that my children hate me is not due to my shitty parenting, it’s liberal transgender brainwashing!”)
