Honestly,I feel that this question has 2 different perspectives.
For the government,in order to garner the citizens' support,they might use different ways to get support,for example,using financial aid schemes or propaganda like during H*tler's Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels by using mass censorship, or using programs such as the H*tler Youth to brainwash children. However, in modern society these methods used by H*tler would not be tolerated as there is social media around to 'cancel' these and make sure these form of acts are eradicated.
For social media, celebrities and prominent figures have support through their fan base. These fans may feel whatever their idols say may be right, however, this might lead to dangerous acts or arguments taking place different celebrities' fan bases and if the celebrities don't step in,it might lead to their downfall or the situation getting our of hand.
Some extra info ^^ :
Joseph Goebbels was a loyal follower of H*tler, after H*tler k*lled himself, Joseph Goebbels could not imagine a world without H*tler so he poisoned his 6 children and k*lled himself and his wife.
This is my own personal opinion btw :))
Hope this helps :]
