An excerpt from the following (more complete) Wikipedia article (link). (Note: Please see the full articles excerpted below for additional details, footnotes, etc.):
"Neo-fascism is a post–World War II ideology that includes significant elements of fascism. Neo-fascism usually includes ultranationalism, populism, authoritarianism, nativism and opposition to immigration, as well as opposition to liberal democracy, parliamentarianism, Marxism, Communism and socialism. Allegations that a group is neo-fascist may be hotly contested, especially if the term is used as a political epithet. Some post–World War II regimes have been described as neo-fascist due to their authoritarian nature, and sometimes due to their fascination with and sympathy towards fascist ideology and rituals..."Another excerpt, from the following Wikipedia article (link):
"...Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation. Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and interventionist economic policies."
A third excerpt, from the following Wikipedia article (link):
"The alt-right, or alternative right, is a loosely connected and somewhat ill-defined grouping of white supremacists/white nationalists, neo-Nazis, neo-fascists, neo-Confederates, Holocaust deniers, and other far-right fringe hate groups.
Alt-right beliefs have been described as isolationist, protectionist, antisemitic and white supremacist, frequently overlapping with neo-Nazism, identitarianism, nativism and Islamophobia, antifeminism, misogyny and homophobia, right-wing populism and the neoreactionary movement. The concept has further been associated with several groups such as American nationalists...." [Etc.]

(Brief commentary:) ...So maybe I have been a little "slow" in catching onto -- or perhaps actually believing -- what many others may already comprehend. I.e., about Donald Trump, numerous (supporting) U.S. Republicans, Trump "rally"-attendees, and so on...:

Self-proclaimed "nationalist" , Donald Trump, talks so tough when discussing his militant plans against children seeking asylum, but rolls over for autocrats in Russia, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia. Not my kind of "nationalist."— Michael McFaul (@McFaul) October 23, 2018
