"The Odious Recrudescence of Ukraine Cheerleaders, Party Operatives, Deep State Bootlickers, and Lefty Trolls on Free Republic"
I'd say it fits the sentence.

It’s a word for the return of the creeping crud—the Wuhan flu kind of crud in this case—and I’ve got it bad this time. Caught it in the hospital both times. Starting to believe the hospital is not a safe place to be.

To: Jim Robinson
“Crud” is used more for the dried-up remnant of something disgusting or repugnant or “raw,” as with a deposit of filth or from a weeping sore from a disease, or excrement, or “issue” (blood, pus, ejaculate), or for someone or something that embodies those. “Curd” is likely a regional dialect variant (middle English). So they’re all related words (cruel, crude, crud, curd).
But I have a very hard time reading or using recrudescence simply to imply the return or repeat of something, because it really means the repeat process of becoming/depositing/exposing something FILTHY or disgusting to the average person, such as dried feces/pus/ejaculate.
(Of course, one’s own poo doesn’t stink, etc.).

I always took it to mean “the reappearance of something unpleasant you thought had been gotten rid of.”

I learned a new one recently: captious, which means a tendency to find fault in petty details.

Douglas MacArthur used this word at the surrender of Japan and during his 1951 farwell speech to Congress.
"The problem basically is theological and involves a spiritual recrudescence and improvement of human character that will synchronize with our almost matchless advances in science, art, literature and all the material and cultural developments of the past 2000 years. It must be of the spirit if we are to save the flesh.”

The Dims are trying to engineer the recrudescence of the COVID scare to enhance their chances in the 2024 elections!

Word exercise:
Use recrudescence in a sentence.
“The politics of the United States is in an extended recrudescence of open corruption.”

Throughout modern history, self-proclaimed altruists (idiots) propose the recrudescence of a State controlled economy ... because this time
they will do it right.
Their motto is "First We Get The Money"
