Abstract: Why authoritarian leaders continue to receive support despite openly agitating against democratic institutions is one of the most important puzzles of the last few decades. This paper argues that the answer is partly lack of knowledge about the costs of authoritarianism. Using an online and a field experiment, the authors show that informational treatments that remedy this lack of knowledge can have substantial effects on both beliefs and voting behavior.
