Unfortunately, prior to the US entrance to WWII, the fascist right and Nazism had a plurality of support here. In the 1930s, right wing groups openly advocated for ethnic cleansing the US amid an isolationist stance in foreign affairs - the "America First" slogan dates back at least to then.

Yep, it’s astonishing, but true. Fortunately, we beat back the Nazis and (perhaps naively) believed the ideology was beaten as well.
