Atavism, Fascism, Chauvinism and Stress

Most commentary describes the rise of the far-right with its blood and soil ideology on downward mobility and declining living standards. From where I watch the world, I'm not so sure about this analysis. I see plenty of right wing extremism coinciding with increased wealth and social status. Where I live, there is lots of new money circulating amongst the white working class along with increasineg expressions of nationalism, authoritarianism, other manifestations of neofascism. Poor people are much less visible but I just don't see the same types of bumper stickers or Trump flags on the old makes and models. Of course poor people tend to be more guarded, less apt to display their politics for fear of retribution in some form. Poor people don't need more enemies. But I also think they see through the ridiculousness of billionaires like Trump claiming to represent their interests. The guys with the seventy thousand dollar pick-ups, new transplants from San Bernadino and Fresno who made a killing on property, they now distinguish themselves as "Ultramaga", not to be confused with regular knuckleheads. I saw a sign on a truck yesterday that said: "Donald Trump: Father of the New Revolution". Trump is the Big Daddy who can say the things they only think. To the degree we can call it thinking. The point is, these guys want to be out on the bleeding edge, but don't have any understanding of political economy. They love their country but fear their government. They drive around with big flags on their trucks, burning gas.
