High-high authoritarians are mostly anti-Semitic militia-leaning right-wingers

Evidence

The present study indicates most Wild-Card Authoritarians have anti-Semitic militialike sentiments. Of the 25 high RWAs-high LWAs in the sample that answered Booklet B, 17 (68%) also scored in the top quartile on the Militia scale. So most of these “wild-cards” seem to be right-wing authoritarians who overrode the preamble and tablesetters to the LWA Scale because they “know” the Establishment is composed of Jews and their accomplices who control an oppressive, plotting, gun-grabbing government. Accordingly, the LWA scale’s scan for revolutionary authoritarianism uncovered such authoritarianism in the anti-Semitic militia-oriented High RWAs. — John T.

I call persons who reject the normal established authorities in society right-wing authoritarians when they believe the “real” established authority (e.g., their reading of God’s will, or the Constitution) has been usurped by left-wing Jews, feminists, homosexuals, and so on (Altemeyer 1996, p. 9). And indeed, RWA scores correlated solidly with Militia scale responses in this study. But some social dominators also held militia sentiments, and left-wing authoritarianism scores roared out the mightiest relationship of all.
