So, I suppose one could identify personality characteristics that make one more or less susceptible to the sense of grievance that leads folks to join authoritarian movements.
A tendency towards racism and greed.

Have you seen MAGA’s new Gadsen flag? The snake sports a new matching red hat and ball gag. The motto: Tread on me, Daddy.
Credit to Dr. Steuss for posting that ‘Gagsen’ flag a few days ago for my enjoyment. This image above improves a bit on the original.
