What the article is basically saying is that white, conservative Americans basically consider "great" to be "back to the Jim Crow-era days" along with a combination of "fuck liberals/minorities", even if it means fucking themselves over in the process.
Many white, conservative Americans, particularly boomers, often mention the 1950's as "the good ol' days", but those "good ol' days" were only good if you were white, male, christian _and_ straight. Anyone who was missing any of those categories (women and minorities) had it shitty as they were very much oppressed, but of course these MAGA-shits don't care; they'll vote against what is good for America and themselves (desegregation, civilized healthcare, decent wages, a solid retirement, etc.) as long as it hurts the brown people. Basically scorched-earth selfishness.
