Taking Advantage of the Depressed?

Depressed people lash out and are likely to vent anger. Depression is a phase for some, while others are chronically affected.

Conservative parties of Korea, the US, and other nations lash out and vent anger at the opposition and lie. 

Some estimate that over a third of the population is depressed, even higher in times of recession or oppression.

These depressed people are likely to be stirred up and empathize with the hate speeches and lies, leading to cognitive dissonance.

That could be why Yoon and Trump got elected, IMHO.
