What is the ‘far-right’ like in Sweden. Are they like the MAGA nut-bags in the US or just ultra-conservative?

anti-immigrant, anti-muslim, anti-EU, and “formerly” fascist.
[Sweden Democrats] originally had its roots in Swedish fascism[24][25][26] and white nationalism,[27][28] but began distancing itself from its past during the late 1990s and early 2000s.[3][27] Under the leadership of Jimmie Åkesson, the SD underwent a process of reform by expelling hard-line members and moderating its platform. Today, the Sweden Democrats officially reject both fascism and Nazism.[3]
