The same reason MAGA does. They want a daddy to force himself on them.

Unresolved daddy issues.
Not even joking. Left or right, if you spend more than five minutes talking to somebody on the authoritarian side of the political spectrum, their relationship with their dad WILL get mentioned. They're obsessed with dads.
sounds like all of my bad first dates with the ladies. daddy issue girls can't wait to tell you about their dad.

This is like reading that post from a user complaining about the horrible vendor lock-in and subscription 'features' on an HP inkjet printer.
"Top 10 lies the USA wants you to believe. You won't believe #1!"
Then provide a counter-argument. You’ve been accused of seeking to replace one authoritarian regime with another and your only response is “nuh-uh, propaganda”. If you can’t articulate what you want, why you want it, and and why you believe it’s not what the people opposing both you and the current regime offer, how are you ever going to achieve momentum to build the system you seek?

But our flaws are nothing compared to these guys.
Our glorious leaders. Their barbaric dictators.
