Right-wing authoritarian leaders...and their followers.

This book is well worth your time to read. Its written by a retired professor who spent his career researching what you are asking about, and has written/helped write several books on the matter. It is helpful in explaining the last 20 years of our national politics, and why things are happening the way they are.
What we are seeing is what happens when right-wing authoritarian leaders and followers mix....and with our current President what happens when authoritarian followers unite behind a narcissistic leader who toxically feeds upon that loyalty and adjulation.
