Fearful people are more likely to support politicians who pose as their savior -- even if their fears are completely unfounded, and even if those politicians were the ones who scared them in the first place.----Where you find fear, you're likely to find lies as well. Why? Because lying to you is easier for a politician than discovering you've been lied to is for you.
