They are most likely foreign policy voters in this case and since 1940 Id assume this is how they would vote:

1940: FDR
1944: FDR
1948: Truman
1952: Eisenhower
1956: Eisenhower
1960: Kennedy
1964: Johnson
1968: Humphrey
1972: Nixon
1976: Ford
1980: Reagan
1984: Reagan
1988: Bush
1992: Bush
1996: Dole
2000: Bush
2004: Bush
2008: McCain
2012: Romney
2016: Clinton
2020: Biden

Basically a neocon voting pattern

Always votes against the incumbent party, with the clear exception of Clinton 2016 and maybe Humphrey 1968.

Real answers, just post-war:

1948: Truman
1952: Stevenson
1956: Stevenson
1960: JFK
1964: Goldwater
1968: Humphrey
1972: McGovern
1976: Carter
1980: Carter or Anderson
1984: Mondale
1988: Dukakis
1992: Clinton or Perot
1996: Clinton or Perot
2000: Gore
2004: Kerry
2008: Obama
2012: Obama
2016: Clinton
2020: Biden

Goldwater was the only Republican I think was less “authoritarian” than the Democrat, but in that case not for the better. Nixon was always a clear authoritarian, and from Reagan onward the GOP was too much the party of the Christian Right, then opposed to civil liberties under Dubya, now of course supporting Trump’s strong authoritarianism, to ever be the answer. Goldwater was opposed to all those things; he disliked Nixon and pressured him to resign, he hated the GOP’s alliance with the Christian Right (despite similarities to Reagan in other regards), strongly believed in individual civil liberties, and would have been repulsed by Trump’s populism. He was many things but not an authoritarian, and that’s the last time the GOP could seriously say that. And it didn’t hurt that, effective as he was, LBJ was clearly less concerned with the rule of law than most subsequent Democrats.

Anti-authoritarian abroad or against what they see as authoritarianism at home? Because those would lead me to opposite answers in quite a few elections. Difference between a libertarian and a neocon.

Anti-authoritarianism locally, although not afraid to use the military to actually defend the United States against authoritarian forces.

Unless one candidate was overtly pro-authoritarian (i.e. Trump), my guess is that they'd always just vote against the incumbent party.

"Anti-authoritarian" is not by itself a coherent philosophy. Of course, government itself is necessarily authoritarian, so the principled anti-authoritarian would be an anarchist who doesn't vote.
