Macdermott’s famous song: “We don’t want to fight, but, by Jingo, if we do, We’ve got the ships, we’ve got the men, we’ve got the money too.” For a time the Jingo Party was in the ascendant."
"by Jingo"...euphemism for "by Jesus"

Oh, well I am not familiar with the information you have found (see my answer below your most recent post).

My rep comment to you, C0LLETTE, was in response to your post above:
Jingoism, true story
(Kätzchen)
Jingoism is a term I learned about in an upper-Ed class of Sociology: The Sociology of Religions.
In that class I learned that excessive, chauvinistic oppressive views, which bring or cause harm to others, and finds its roots in irrational nationalistic views is called ....
Jingoism (n) or Jingoistic (v).
In your post, you intimated that Far Right views and Far Left views find a lot in common with each other. I think your assessment of that is accurate and I added my thoughts that both sides are a form of Jingoism and often at times jingoistic. That is what I meant by using the term Jingoism/Jingoistic.
The drive-in President-Elect and Vice President Elect address is almost ready for on air broadcast, so I think it's time for me to go now.
Hooray, for Biden and Harris and all the people who cast their vote and made their voice heard!! Thanks to all!!! XO
