This book review says that, according to those books, Russian leaders desperately want to be respected. Relatedly, that MAGA guy whose wife got deported said he doesn’t regret voting for Trump. Presumably, that’s because he doesn’t want to lose respect by saying he was wrong. Then, there’s the mom of child dead from measles who said “Don’t do the shots,” my other four kids were fine. That one could be a religious thing, but it’s still a case in which you should expect material conditions to affect decision-making more than pre-seeded mental conditions.
