There have been a number or researchers that have tackled the question “what makes people susceptible to authoritarianism?” Both Dr Bob Altemeyer with his book “The Authoritarians” and Erich Fromm with his book “Escape from Freedom” came to the conclusion that it is how these people are raised.
Fromm's research suggested that individuals who grow up in authoritarian environments may develop a fear of freedom and a tendency to seek security and stability through submission to authority.
And Altemeyer’s research suggests that people who grow up in authoritarian households are more likely to support authoritarian leaders and ideologies because they tend to have a more submissive and conformist personality type, which makes them more susceptible to authoritarian influence.
