Can I expand on “palingenetic ultranationalism” for those who lack the time and/or motivation to read a chapter of a book?

I expanded on the text.

Palingenetic means rebirth or renewal. The Italian fascists claimed that they would return to the glory of Rome. Hitler’s “Third Reich” implies a return to the first two great periods of German history under Frederick the Great and Bismark.
So fascists are ultranationalists who promise a return to greatness. This definition is unsatisfying because while these characteristics are universal to fascists, they’re not sufficient to describe any particular version of fascism.

Ah, I assumed it meant a tendency to generate Sarah Palin.

I mean yes, because that's not what it's trying to do. Describing one variant of fascism would naturally exclude others, which isn't what you want from a universal definition of fascism.

Tinfoil hat time: that hand glitch video of Trump was a test, by Vance, because he knows how uncharismatic he is. These people bought into AI as their secret weapon and it’s not ready for their grand design.
