hitler was for germany, idk if there could be an "american hitler" in a comparable way... america is too (classically) liberal. "american hitler" would literally be a less liberal trump, no?

At this point I just want a radical conservative to undo... well, 60 years of subversion would be nice, but I'll just take the last 16 if I can get it.
I realize "radical conservative" is sort of a contradiction in terms, but it sounds better than saying a "radical regressive" to counter the radical progressives seems like poor branding.
Anyway I suppose that would be a modern day Hitler. We don't have a Germanic Empire to reclaim that was stolen ~20 years ago, but that was effectively one of Hitler's strongest policy goals. And really, while the conservatives haven't ceded physical ground in the past 20 years, we've certainly ceded pretty much all of the ideological ground.

How about "radical traditionalist"? Or maybe "restorationist"?

yes, well if you just want to roll the clock back to the 1950s I guess to the left that is "literally hitler" but the 1950s were kind of (classically) liberal so again I think it's probably like a less liberal trump that is wanted (and needed). I think there is some appetite for it... not sure how a leader could lead the masses of unhappy people to understand their unhappiness comes from the leftwing lifestyles they've been led to live
