64. You entire post just defined Authoritarian Personality Disorder to a T.

Seriously, read the wiki article describing this disorder:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_personality

Excerpt One:

The ego-defense mechanism of projection occurs as indicated when that person avoids self-reference of the anxiety-producing id impulse, by displaying them onto "inferior" minority groups in the given culture (projectivity), with associated beliefs that are highly evaluative (power and toughness), and rigid (stereotypy). Additionally, there is a cynical view of humanity and a need for power and toughness resulting from the anxieties produced by perceived lapses in society's conventional norms (destructiveness and cynicism). Other characteristics of this personality type are a general tendency to focus upon those who violate conventional values and act harshly towards them (authoritarian aggression), a general opposition to subjective or imaginative tendencies (anti-intraception), a tendency to believe in mystic determination (superstition), and finally, an exaggerated concern with promiscuity.

Excerpt Two:

...three tendencies as noted in attitudinal clusters. These are: 1) submission to legitimate authorities; 2) aggression towards sanctioned targeted minority groups; and 3) adherence to values and beliefs perceived as endorsed by followed leadership. McCrae & Costa (1997)

There is also something called Right Wing Authoritarian Personality Disorder, but that isn't exactly the same as APD and it doesn't mean the same thing as a conservative or what not. It's not on a political spectrum since conservative means different things in different parts of the world.
