The growth of right-leaning ideological extremist groups during the 2012, 2016, and 2020 political election cycles emphasizes the need to re-evaluate our preconceived notions about the demographics of groups composition and geographical information about group location. The antiquated perceptions portrayed by media and public perception characterize these members as having lower educational attainment, middle-class to lower-class socioeconomic status, exclusively living in rural areas of Republican-led states, and Caucasian as their primary race. This study reviews scholarly literature associated with right-wing ideologies to examine the realities of right-leaning extremist ideological groups. Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) Hate Group frequencies and location data, Massachusetts Institute of Technology voting data, and United States Department of Commerce Census Bureau census data were used to examine relationships between right-leaning extremist ideological group locations in California and Georgia and demographic variables associated with right-leaning extremist ideological group stereotypes. While some demographic characteristics supported portions of the stereotypes, the qualitative and quantitative analysis found that much of the data indicates further investigation is necessary to define the modern-day right-leaning extremist ideological group characteristics more accurately.
