    Wow, not sure to call him ultra-nationalist or religious-extremist.

    Fascist. That’s the word you’re looking for.

      Religious nationalist is not a synonym for fascist. We need to stop diluting the meaning of the word fascist.

        Religious nationalist

        “Religious nationalist” is an oxymoron - especially when it comes to Abrahamic religions. Saluting a piece of colored fabric and treating it with any kind of reverential significance literally breaks the very first commandment.

        They are neither religious - they literally act in direct contravention of the teachings they (supposedly) “follow” - nor nationalist - they literally (and overtly) place the interests of a small wealthy elite above the interests of the people in the nation.

        No, Clyde - they are fascists.
