You've got real Neo-Nazis today using it to describe their movement, conspiracy theorists like Jim Marrs using it to refer to the covert continuation of the original Nazis (w/ all sorts of energy weapons and anti gravity tech and secret global domination stuff), Euroskeptics unhappy with Germany's dominance of the EU, and James Baldwin used it to refer to the "law and order" backlash to the civil rights movement in the Nixon era.

this seems more a reaction to trump's famous "peace treaty" between saudi arabia and israel, actually a wartime cooperation against the yemeni and, eventually iran.
