Why Do People Trust Authoritarian Right Wing Leaders?

If we don't trust our institutions, it's hard to trust in for lack of a better way of putting it our democracy, right? You could argue that the insurrection on January 6 was literally the direct result of mistrust reaching levels in the United States. We watched the Arizona Senate hold a six month, six million dollars recount of the Maricopa County vote. The recount found out the vote was completely solid. It actually found 210 more votes for Biden. But it got carried out because these levels of mistrust were so high that the Republican Party faithful demanded it and mainstream Republicans felt like they had to play to that base. Why do people trust authoritarians when they don't even trust?
