This was a "light bulb on" type insight for me - I think it explains a lot of what I've seen (on FR not the least) the last few months. People are frustrated and/or scared, and they are looking for a strong leader to fix things. The problem is, this is precisely what small-government, liberty-minded conservatives don't need.
I do find some of the commentary in the article a bit goofy/biased, given the overt statism of Democrat policies for decades and their obvious tie to authoritarianism. But nonetheless I think the core finding here is valid.

Yup, the Obama robots like big govt authoritarians and now the Trump cultists like the same big govt authoritarianism ( deals )
Same hero worshipping mentality, same disregard of evidence and facts.
Sad to see so many on this conservative site fall for the dog and pony show.
But, hey, it will be great according to the Donald.

Ah, “authoritarianism” - the mythical concept made popular by leftwingers after WWII to explain why so many Germans became Nazis.....

I saw this a few times today, and think there is some merit in it. I might say this could be true of Obama supporters, although I think he is only authoritative with law abiding, tax paying U.S. citizens.

You are correct that it is one big dog and pony show.
Trump knows exactly what the people want to hear. He will be a disaster as a President.
