Do remember that Nazis were alive and well in the United States all the way up to the time it entered WWII. Only then did it become fashionable to hide the fact one sympathized with Nazis.

It literally takes war or great civil unrest to push back fascism for a time.

Nazis never left. They just went back into the shadows because they are nothing but cowards.

That's a very good point. We had Nazi organizations happily operating in the open in that US until WWII.
