That is highly debatable. The Nazis were very strong in the US and mainstream politicians were strong fascist leanings. The thing that reversed that trend (at least on the surface) was fighting Germany. You can't really promote an ideology that is aligned with your enemy. The cultural differences you speak of were not there in the '30 - or at least were not strong enough. I don't have the time to debate this right now, but you can start here: More Americans Supported Hitler Than You May Think. Here's Why One Expert Thinks That History Isn't Better Known In fact, when Bradley W. Hart first started researching the history of Nazi sympathy in the United States a few years ago, he was largely driven by the absence of attention to the topic. Hart’s new book Hitler’s American Friends: The Third Reich’s Supporters in the United States argues that the threat of Nazism in the United States before World War II was greater than we generally remember today, and that those forces offer valuable lessons decades later — and not just because part of that story is the history of the “America First” idea, born of pre-WWII isolationism and later reborn as a slogan for now-President Donald Trump.
