Essentially the American equivalent of neonazis. And no, they definitely do not approve of Reaganomics and neoliberalism.
The right wing always approves of Reaganomics and neoliberalism. Bannon, for example, famously announced that the Trump program is to destroy the administrative state. Neonazis are against paying taxes for welfare because it goes to black people, or so they suppose. Neonazis are pro-Christian fundamentalists. Nazis have always been corporate-based and against gun control. The right wing is virtually monolithic, although not all neo-liberals are explicitly racist, but their anti-welfare and anti-immigration policies are closet racist; Trump has brought racism back out into the open as explicit policy while keeping and expanding and taking neo-liberalism and Reaganomics far beyond Reagan, and Trump is supported by virtually the entire right wing and the entire Republican Party. The only right wing that counts and is likely to rebel is the right wing that is against taxes, welfare, abortion, gun control, immigration, civil rights, business regulation, anti-"communist," etc., those are their issues. The right-wing is Christian, not pagan. Pagans are liberals. And today, the right wing = Republicans. Gun control is the number one trigger issue. Those in this group who are violent may be a minority, but the question is how much violent resistance can they muster once Democrats take control again. Ask Classic Xer, maybe he has an idea.
My question was to Ghost's reference to "I was talking more about the hardcore alt-right faction, the ones that are usually pagan, third positionist, followers of Evola, and vehemently racist (like Varg, Survive the Jive, and The Golden One to name a few)." Noone knows who those people are. This is probably some millennial online culture and maybe even videogame culture. Not relevant. neo-Nazis are KKK and followers of Hitler, white power and Christianity as part of white culture. Everyone knows who they are.
I see from brief wikipedia articles about The Golden One and Evola is that Ghost has picked out a few obscure pagans and occultists from past and present from outside the USA who espouse racist beliefs. As someone inclined to some of those occult, hermetic and neo-pagan beliefs, I dissent from labeling the right-wing with them. Most right-wingers in the USA are Christian.

The radical right wing today is the merger of the TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already) and militia movements, conspiracy theory, white nationalism, anti-semitism, and the Christian Right, stoked by resistance to Obama and the rise of Trump.
