5. They don't care

The nationalist movement is illiberal. Anything viewed as coming from the left is evil and must be destroyed.

They don’t apply logic. There is no contemplation, just visceral reaction. Their battle cry is burn it down, and environmental protections are definitely on the list.

it is all about aligning with corporate short term thinking and eliminating the balance government is supposed to provide to that equation.

It’s going to end in a very dark place. Some of them even realize this and they still don’t care. It’s the damndest thing Trumpism and this global nationalist movement. There is no vision and they don’t care. They don’t need to provide tangible goals, they can run on fear and hate for a very long time.
