Fascist? No.
There is certainly a popular reactionary swing away from social liberalism and towards national conservatism however.

Buddy, national conservatism is the core component of fascism in a declining capitalist country.

The core component of fascism is authoritarianism with totalitarian goals. Many nationalist movements throughout history have not been fascist in nature, and many non-fascists have embraced nationalist values without becoming fascists.
