No, they are leaning further in that direction than they where a few decades ago, but still not close.
There isn't an ultranationalist fervor in the Republican party, I'm not sure how that would play out, as the majority of western nations that have been nationalist in the past usually use race as a basis for group identity. I suppose they could use "American" culture/ values, but even those aren't widely agreed upon due to the USA's diversity.
Republican party is pretty populist admittedly, the Democrats are too, might just be a result of the propaganda model having infiltrated politics decades ago and the media's consumer base being gradually desensitized to populism which would have previously been captivating but is no longer so.
The Republicans aren't by any stretch Authoritarian.
I haven't seen any ideas of racial supremacy being flouted by the Reps.
Economically the Republicans are pretty Neo-Liberal. They certainly lean more protectionist than the Dems, but not to an extent that usually is conjoined with Fascism or Neo-Fascism.
Unfortunately things like Communism, Fascism, Liberal, Conservative have been thrown around quite a bit as a pejorative, and contrary to popular belief this is not a recent phenomenon. I have made a few threads that dispel common misconceptions about some of the concepts and explain what they actually are in praxis.

Clearing Up Confusion: What is Fascism?
Hi there. Once again, I am going to attempt to define another term that is often misused as a pejorative against things that people don't like. Not too long ago, I had a conversation with a friend in which he said that former USA president Donald Trump is a "Fascist". However, when I asked him...

But not according to some prominent Republicans.
Ron Paul has stated on a number of occasions, that Trump is Authoritarian (3:30 of the clip)
Also Trump's desire to take over Greenland, Panama & Canada contradicts traditional Republican ideals of non-intervention.
This is also one principle Paul and other traditional Republicans highly object to.
They don't want their party to get involved in foreign wars or entanglements.
I saw one commentator or Fox, a Republican, who was somewhat appalled by Trump's position on taking over countries. (:35 seconds in)

Just because Ron Paul says something doesn't mean that it is true. Also the clip is from 8 years ago.
he then goes on to say 'I THINK he would take charge, and I'm not looking for someone to take charge of my life". He is not discussing Trump's previous behaviors, merely speculating on what he MIGHT do when he is in office.
So far Trump has certainly not been authoritarian. I would be genuinely impressed if a POTUS was able to be authoritarian during peace time. When Trump was in his first term, he did not suppress political dissidents in an authoritarian manner, centralize executive power in any meaningful way, nor did he restrict or prevent other political parties from running against him in 2020.

He’s trying to stuff some very critical slots with hacks whose only job qualification is being complete tools.

The Insurrection. Or maybe you thought that was a "peaceful protest".
Your apologism is distressing.

What about the insurrection? And what does it have to do with the Republican party being Neo-Fascist? The insurrection on January 6, which I will concede probably wouldn't have happened if Trump lit a fire under the ass of the participants, was an isolated incident which I am not worried about in the slightest.
I can't see how the incident would indicate the Republican party being Neo-Fascist when insurrectionism is not exclusive to any particular ideology.
Do not mistake me for a Trump apologist, as I do not think he is going to be a particularly good leader (I don't even support a president existing in the USA). I am not defending any actions of Trump or the Republican party in the slightest.

Trump was disputing the 2016 election in 2015, where have you been sleeping?

The naughtiness of the US federal government when it comes to overspending is a bipartisan problem, each party has their own specific way of spending money like a schoolgirl at the mall: seeing something you like, then another thing you like, and the next thing you know you are paying for it in credit because you only had 20$ in your wallet.

Disputing election results with the use of rhetoric is not a characteristic of Fascism or Neo-Fascism. It is closer to being a characteristic of Authoritarianism, which is not the same thing. However, Fascist/ Neo-Fascist societies are Authoritarian/ Totalitarian by nature, so I can see where the misunderstanding stems from.

Wild guess: It's because they're resisting the unhinged batshit Leftist fringe -- and the only groups to historically resist Communism were Nazis and Fascists. Therefore...

Yeah, I can see why someone would think this and have talked to people who seemed to belive this too.
There where other states in the 20th century that entered conflict with "Communist" nations, such as the USA and former Eastern Bloc nations such as Czechoslovakia and Albania, with them resisting non-violently and both non-violently and violently respectively.
