Let's not forget Charles Lindbergh in that group either. He was wildly anti-semitic, and spoke glowingly of Hitler frequently, even into the 40s. Maybe it was due to that medal he received from Hermann Gohering.

Aye. Ford and Hitler were BFFs. And Smedley Butler stood up to an alleged cabal of industrial fascists who believed he would support an American domestic coup. In 1934, America Nazis even had their very own summer camp for boys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Wille_und_Macht https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Wille_und_Macht The German-American Bund (American Nazis org) held a rally of 20k in NYC @ MSG in 1939. Political scapegoating, violence, and propaganda twisting narratives and history are as old as time. Recall the fate of the Cathars, Armenians, Romani, and the Holocaust.

Lindbergh was a prominent speaker for the America First Committee, which has uncanny resemblance to the MAGA crowd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Committee The Iranian attack on Israel seems to have had similar (but milder) effect on MAGA as Pearl Harbor had on AFC.

  The sustainable growth of hate groups (or even cults) requires they remain within proscribed bounds of decorum while blowing their dogwhistles discreetly and tricking the unaware to support a cause they don't realize is terrible. History won't be kind to show the KKK, AFC, and MAGA as anything other than softer and cuter forms of the same troglodyte venom. Inversely, the silencing of starving and dying civilians by discriminatorily and ignorantly, and outright lying with fabricated stories, painting an entire people as barbaric monsters by falsely weaponizing cultural sacred lambs like the Holocaust is another form of evil that threatens both Judaism and Zionism.
