6. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 1: "Secondly, they usually avoid anything approaching a fair fight. Instead they aggress when they believe right and might are on their side. “Right” for them means, more than anything else, that their hostility is (in their minds) endorsed by established authority, or supports such authority. “Might” means they have a huge physical advantage over their target, in weaponry say, or in numbers, as in a lynch mob. It’s striking how often authoritarian aggression happens in dark and cowardly ways, in the dark, by cowards who later will do everything they possibly can to avoid responsibility for what they did. Women, children, and others unable to defend themselves are typical victims."

9. Altemeyer 1996. The Authoritarian Specter, p. 23: "It appears, then, that believing in punishment as they do and enjoying dishing it out as they do, High RWAs are more likely in general to sentence wrongdoers to long prison terms. But this is not true if the wrongdoers are officials whom the authoritarian admires, or if the crime involved attacking someone Highs believe should be attacked (the child molester, the hippie, the uppity demonstrator, Vietnamese peasants, and gay activists). In these cases the usual positive RWA Scale correlation drops and may even become negative."

26. Dean; Altemeyer (2020). Authoritarian Nightmare, chpt. 6: "And as new ideas crash into the old ones, people try to make sense of what they have learned. Many of us integrate. But high RWAs do not. They stick with the old truths, and if a new learning contradicts an old one, it makes no difference because everything is in its own place and not to be disturbed. So even if you win the argument, it is not likely to change their minds."
27. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 4: "They can be woefully uninformed about things they oppose, but they prefer ignorance and want to make others become as ignorant as they. They are also surprisingly uninformed about the things they say they believe in, and deep, deep, deep down inside many of them have secret doubts about their core belief."
28. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 3: "And when I give feedback lectures to classes about my studies and describe right-wing authoritarians, it turns out the high RWAs in the room almost always think I am talking about someone else."

30. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 5: "The high RWAs went along with the unethical decision a lot more than the low RWAs did. In fact they liked it, they said in private afterwards, it was the right thing to do, and they gave their boss a high rating. The less authoritarian students did not like the boss’s decision and said so, and they did not like the boss either."
31. Dean; Altemeyer (2020). Authoritarian Nightmare, chpt. 7: "So, suppose for the sake of argument that you are a power-hungry, manipulative, totally unethical slimeball who decides to enter politics. You do stand for a few things, but it is best for you that the public never finds out what exactly. You need an army of gullible followers who will believe you when you are lying, inside-out and upside-down and through your teeth. Turns out, large clusters of chumps exist; they are the authoritarian followers we have been addressing, and they will lift you on high if you tell them you devoutly believe whatever they devoutly believe. They will gladly ignore reasons why you might be less trustworthy, which are conspicuous to most people."
32. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 3: "Then once they have “their” ideas, someone who comes along and says what authoritarian followers want to hear becomes trustworthy. High RWAs largely ignore the reasons why someone might have ulterior motives for saying what they want to hear; it’s enough for them that another person indicates they are right."
33. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 5: "In a similar vein, remember those “group cohesiveness” items in chapter 3, such as, “For any group to succeed, all its members have to give it their complete loyalty.” We saw that authoritarian followers endorse such sentiments. But social dominators do not. Oh sure, they want their followers to be super loyal to the group they lead. But they themselves are not really in it so much for the group or its cause, but more for themselves. It’s all about them, not about a higher purpose. If trouble arises, don’t be surprised if they start playing “Every man for himself” and even sell out the group to save their own skin."
34. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 5: "Persons who score highly on the Social Dominance scale do not usually have all the nooks and crannies, contradictions and lost files in their mental life that we find in high RWAs. Most of them do not show weak reasoning abilities, highly compartmentalized thinking, and certainly not a tendency to trust people who tell them what they want to hear. They’ve got their head together. Nor are most of them dogmatic or particularly zealous about any cause or philosophy. [...] So like high RWAs, social dominators are quite capable of hypocrisy—the difference being that the RWAs probably don’t realize the hypocrisy because their thinking is so compartmentalized, whereas the dominators do but don’t care."
35. Dean; Altemeyer (2020). Authoritarian Nightmare, chpt. 6: "If their parents were anti-Semitic, if most of the people they associate with are anti-Semitic, they will think their own negative attitudes toward Jewish people are ordinary, free of any hint of prejudice, “just the truth.” If you showed them how prejudiced they are compared to most people, they will say it simply could not be so. Conversely, social dominators will say, “Yeah, you’re right. I hate Jews. So what?”"
36. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 5: "However when it comes to racial and ethnic minorities, right-wing authoritarians will still aggress—overtly or sneakily, physically or verbally—but such attacks are less clearly supported by religious and civic authorities than they used to be. So their prejudice in these cases has dropped some. But not that of social dominators."
37. Jost (2021). Left and Right, chpt. 2: "The available data, which we summarize in Chapter 4, provide consistent support for the rigidity-of-the-right hypothesis, no support for the extremity hypothesis in isolation, and some support for the notion that both effects are present in combination"
38. Altemeyer (2010). The Authoritarians, chpt. 1: "An authoritarian follower submits excessively to some authorities, aggresses in their name, and insists on everyone following their rules. If these authorities are the established authorities in society, that’s right-wing authoritarianism. If one submits to authorities who want to overthrow the establishment, that’s left-wing authoritarianism, as I define things."
39. Altemeyer (1996). The Authoritarian Specter, pp. 218-219: "Such extremist groups, while submissive to their own perceived “legitimate authorities,” would be psychological left-wingers on a societal level during their opposition to the Establishment. But should their movement attain power in the flash of a revolution, their strong submission to the new societal authority would make them psychological right-wing authoritarians on that level, as they became in Germany and Russia. I am proposing, in short, an underlying authoritarian personality that can be either psychologically left-wing or right-wing, depending on who holds power, and can be found at either extreme of the political spectrum."
