Some constructive responses. First, it would be interesting to compare cross-sectional data (which this study appears to rely on) with longitudinal data. There is research in Germany taking this more challenging type of study. That study looks at the perception of discrimination among migrants to Germany and why most groups reflect less egregious discrimination while one group (Turks) persist over time, especially those who are more educated. How Often Have You Felt Disadvantaged? Explaining Perceived Discrimination, Claudia Diehl, Elisabeth Liebau, Peter Mühlau. 7 March 2021. Related to this research is how LWA beliefs is embedded in the argument about the legacy of slavery and whether associated beliefs do not ameliorate with substantial civil rights reforms. The RWA belief structure is tied into relatively concurrent time policies and reactions (lockdown policies and protests). One might ask ‘so what?’ Perhaps LWA beliefs are more resistant to change – that is, more stubborn to the RWA – with respect to the specific events/policies cited. Are both equally stubborn with respect to historical forces at work in U.S. society. A second concern relates to research conducted by economists such as Roland Fryer Jr. and Glenn Loury. Their statistical measures call out for a dialogue with these belief structures. In addition, leaders may be out of sync with the community they ostensibly represent such as noted in the call for defunding the police growing out of BLM protests and Gallup Poll measures that find substantial disagreement with such a policy in the black community. My thought is that Byll has a bright future for bringing all these strands together. Right now, we have Humpty-Dumpty pieces of belief, perception, statistics, polls and policies that are designed to put Humpty Dumpty back together again; so far, Humpty Dumpty is still broken.
I would be interested in seeing correlations between class/income and support for violent protests. I suspect that those from higher income / privilege are more prone to authoritarianism on either side of the spectrum.
This largely reflects my anecdotal experience amongst friends and acquaintances here in WA state along the Puget Sound. We have a strong Antifa presence and suffered from the destruction and deaths as well. Thanks for doing this research and I look forward to seeing the other information when it is released.

Where can we look at your supporting data?
Very interesting. Thank you.
