In any case, I can't help seeing how much parallel there is by invoking past glory to motivate a modern base.

All politicians and all political movements have always invoked past glories to motivate modern bases. What in particular about Trumps rather innocuous use of the same time honored tactic do you find so distressing as to spend days comparing it with a 21st century Russian strong-mans attempt to revive a dead empire by force?

There is nothing wrong with making America great and it certainly doesn't involve invading other countries or poisoning political opponents so I don't see the parallel. Maybe it's just in your mind.
