Spun around whatever fascist notion can be leveraged into an emotionally charged tornado. Spinning it faster and faster with each fist pounding con game of thinly veiled intent. It hungers to consume egalitarianism, vacuuming it into it's tiny aperture as it's minions of fundamentalism applaud.
It gains strength with each puff of ETOH and tortilla chip stench laden hot air from MTG and Boebert. It grows even stronger with each occasion it musters to reduce the integrity of specified individuals to a set of traits to be bullied. It crumbles entire volumes of scientific principles into Trumped stupidity and ignorance, further fueling it's own destructive rage. It implodes into mass destructive, civil war bloodletting, egregious selfishness of it's original greedy intent until millions are starving, homeless and destitute. It props up toxic masculinity with body injury and soul stifling authoritarianism.
While the likes of Tucker Carlson giggle.

create it or follow religions and leaders who create it for them. that requires denial of reality and hypocrisy is very easy for them. they use simplification and binary absolutes to create it so everything is black and white, one side of the wall or the other

it's time for psychs to recognize the Certainty Deficit Disorder. authoritarians fear/avoid uncertainty. that is recognized as a major characteristic driving authoritarianism.

sex on the wrong brain theory suggests an irrational need for certainty can result from diverting impatient satisfaction demanding reproductive impulses to thought processes like logic where they push for premature conclusion, closure, certainty.

and that is caused by right handed masturbation. people descended from 'old world' populations are more likely to get it bad because those empires and civilizations selected for those authoritarian tendencies and the other major symptom of sowb - greed.

because of the anatomy involved females have less sowb in general so they're are a source of uncertainty for authoritarians and they have to be controlled
