Most dictators use a combination of the same techniques employed by rulers since the beginning of civilization. This can be summed up as populism and brutality. The dictators establish themselves as ultra-nationalist and jingoistic, supposedly championing their people. Many seemingly benevolent, or charitable, or religious programs are designed to win approval from the uneducated populace. (These require only a small portion of the vast sums of personal wealth that are accumulated at the expense of the nation.) At the same time, political rivals or opposing factions are ruthlessly suppressed by intimidation, imprisonment, torture, and murder.
These types of actions occur in most governments to some degree, but they are essential for strongmen or juntas who need absolute control of a state.
Many dictators, such as Hitler, "brainwashed" the people of Germany with Propaganda saying that the Jewish race was bad, or unworthy to be apart of the "perfect" race that Hitler wanted. also as a leader the Hitler had controle of the armed forces, so anyone that spoke out against him or he thought would betray him was killed or hurt so they wouldn't speak out against him again. Mainly it all about have all the controle, and being able to take anyone out that is wanting/ going to work against them.
The specifics differ between various dictatorships, but usually, dictators established a strong capital city and extended control to various provinces through the choosing of trusted lieutenants to run local politics with military force.
Dictator gains militaristic footholds and enforces himself as leader.

Where do the governments get their power?
The answer to this question heavily depends on what society we are talking about. In modern history, since the enlightenment, it is widely believed that governments derive their power from the people whom they govern. This has not always been the case, however, when history shows us that many governments thought they derived their authority to govern from divine right or heritage, or both.
