In our show, “Why do Iranians support Trump?”, we only gave you a glimpse of the feedback that we got to our Twitter poll in response to @TheTweetOfGod. We thought that it would be interesting for you to read more responses, and read some of the feedback we got about the actual show itself.

Friends of the show directly contacted us to say…

It’s actually a very interesting question deeper down … You touch upon it though – as in Iranians liking a “strong leader”. I think that’s only a symptom though. I’d say it’s more a desire for absolute reliable truth, i.e. black-and-white thinking. Which of course comes from insecurities and uncertainties, and from living in a context that is largely quite muddy and intransparent. And which of course creates a desire for strong leadership, clear structures, including hierarchical ones. That’s a pretty common phenomenon around the world.
