Why do so many young people support someone like Donald Trump? In this episode, we talk about the surprising appeal of authoritarian rulers, the nostalgia for a “better time” that never really existed, and the psychological craving for a strong, guiding figure. Is it about Trump himself, or is it about a deeper desire for structure in a chaotic world? We’ll also explore the risks of romanticizing leaders and what it says about us as a society. Join the conversation and see what’s behind this unexpected phenomenon. Welcome🍸  to Deviant Lounge — Contact us at DeviantLounge.com
