Seems to be a common theme around the world at the moment

In times of crisis, the people feel fear.

People who feel fear want a loud tall angry person that makes them feel safe.

Authoritarians have been taking advantage of that since before written history.

Fear leads to anger.

Anger leads to hate.

Hate leads to suffering.
