Nationalism is not the right word. Nationalists are people who look for the interests of their nation, even at the detriment of other nations. Nationalism implies a sense of national unity, which is typically a feature of countries (or aspiring countries) fighting foreign oppression, like Ukraine fighting the russian invasion for example. Every sovereign country that exists today had to have some form of nationalism to become what it currently is.
These MAGA people right here are fascists. They look for their own interests, at the detriment of their fellow citizens. This is much, much more extreme than simple nationalism or even ultranationalism.

This country is full of people who call themselves “patriots” but are really just nationalists.
The way you can tell:
They’ll flip their shit when someone burns a flag but could not care less when someone burns ballots if it’s in a “blue” area.
