    It’s not that they doing believe it. They want it. A sizable part of the US (and any country tbh) would prefer that there was a single person with all the authority

      They want daddy to take care of them.

      Effective Democracy requires an informed populace to make hard decisions (vote) about difficult and nuanced situations.

      Dictators tell everyone the problem is easy to fix and that they will fix it. Usually they find a scapegoat to blame.

      They are people who are frustrated by the complexity of real life and want someone to take care of everything for them.
