I think shit like this is sort of a performance. Fascism is an anti-materialist ideology, they're all about decoupling from physical reality and embracing fantastical thinking. So when fash say shit like this it's not because they think it truth, but they're doing fascist propaganda by showing fash curious people "look, you can embrace this delusion too, you can enter the realm of the fantastical! You are a titan unbound by time and morality!"

Yeah, this is a good way to look at it, it's not about actually making provable statements, it's about insisting that the in-group all actively reject reality, because that makes them much easier to control and manipulate. And it is appealing to a certain sort of person, all the "bad things" are connected and you can feel good about yourself despite not doing anything decent in your life and having no genuine human connection because you're fighting this evil invisible enemy in your imagination.

I honestly don't know if she knows this or if she is just a useful puppet though.
