I’m just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc… Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they’ve done? What do they exactly like about them?

Aren’t these people seeing a massive drop in their quality of life?

    I think most people are just trying to live their day to day and don’t see long term, or just can’t because of their station. It’s back to nature/nurture I guess.

    What you head is filled with determines how your brain is wired.

    Most people want the same things. And no one wants to go fight a war. People do the best they can with what they are given. It’s a sad truth of human history. We can never quite avoid tripping over our very own nature. And that fact is taken advantage of. Over and over again.
