In a thread yesterday, I noted that after WWII, many Americans asked how it was possible that large numbers of Germans could hear Hitler's dangerous, crazy ranting targeting minority communities and lusting after blood and still support him.
Yet now we see many Americans doing exactly the same as Donald Trump rants.
Why? A key here: a sizable number of Americans lean strongly authoritarian.
