Why do people keep voting for authoritarian leaders?

I'm just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc... Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they've done? What do they exactly like about them?

Aren't these people seeing a massive drop in their quality of life?

Democracies work when the voting populace is educated and informed. Unfortunately, humanity willfully avoids being either in favor of opinion and bias.
