yes. there have been scholarly efforts in this domain. effectively authoritarians vote purely out of the fear that something bad will come for them so they vote in people who promise to be big and tough and scary towards those threats. ironically, this incentivizes the people getting voted in to intensify how awful things are for people because it benefits them personally.
