I just came across some articles that talked about what is called The Terror Management Theory. This theory tries to explain how former president Trump could still be held in such high regard by his devotees even though he is being indicted on some very damning charges.
The theory argues that when people are made to think of their own deaths they become much more open to authoritarian leaders who offer certainty and clear answers.
I hope to say more about this theory as I read more about it.
