Authoritarian psychology. Roughly 30% of any given population would much prefer to live in a society of strict hierarchies, rules, and consequences where everyone knows their place.
See: the entire career of Bob Altemeyer. Specifically I recommend "The Authoritarians" it's a free PDF on his website.
