They want to go back to the good old days because from their perspective, it would benefit them. They would be right if they were rich.
Before Nazis, things like racism and oppressing the poor were all normal. In fact, only considering your own tribe’s interests is how humanity lived most its life.
With modern science and education we invented a post tribalistic society, we made tons of strides and started identifying through values and ideals (like the American dream). It’s truly next level from what came before.
Some people just dont like this level and want to go back, they think the grass is greener and it may be for some, but not for almost all of us (working class).

Mm just dont think that’s a clear picture of what is happening here. There might be some truth but its no exactly an ideology.
You cant just say, “I want it to be like it was.” Then when asked, “ok when exactly do you want to go back to?” and they just say, “when it was great!”

The answer is money:
They want the economic power and freedom the middle class had in the post WWII era combined with the shameless selfishness of reganomics.
The reason why they can’t put those into a clear statement is because it’s a feeling, they don’t know why things were better in the past, so they express by rejecting the present and progress.
Remember, Hitler didn’t rally by talking about how great fascism is, he rallied by talking on an emotional level about greatness of the past. He spoke to people who were burned by rapid inflation but didn’t really talk about monetary policy but he sold them a vision of prosperity by “removing bad actors” (see DEI drama).
