This is the 50s, I think it’d be pretty easy to draw a line from casual racism to white supremacists. A key difference this time is that it’s not just Germans led by one insane man, it’s instead a bunch of redneck prices and conspiracy theorists.
Before the US got involved in WWII, there was a giant Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden…
There was a lot more than that. There were Nazi sympathizers, and saboteurs, and those who plotted to overthrow the US government. People like Father Charles Coughlin reading Goebbels’ propaganda on the radio to millions of listeners and forming an anti-government militia, and legislators like US Senator Ernest Lundeen working directly with Nazis and reading speeches literally written by them.
Highly recommend Rachel Maddow’s Ultra podcast if you want to say holy shit every few minutes.
they are the same picture
the og nazis were absolutely cooked full on conspiracy theorists, some of them were into occult shit and spend significant resources on that
Also, for the red neck prick angle of it, check out this fucking moron from rural Wisconsin (who I originally learned of through this article about when a bunch of vets kicked his ass in 1946 for trying to hold a Nazi rally in Minneapolis).
ha, you can’t trick me, he’s just time-traveling Richard Spencer
