Crisis cults are very attractive to people who highly need a way to feel OK in, well, a crisis. And we right now are having a long term political/economic crisis that is enriching a few oligarchs while impoverishing the many, a pandemic crisis that is so poorly managed it is killing a thousand plus people a day, and an acute economic crisis caused by the pandemic and aggravated by derelict leadership, and more political crisis stemming from the demagogic/authoritarian efforts to distract from it all as the election looms. Hell, it's a wonder we don't have 10 Q-Anons.
