It was an extreme minority opinion regardless, this idea that America was almost on Germany's side is just revisionist bunk. Even the Republicans just wanted to stay "neutral." So neutral they didn't even want to sell anyone guns, the unAmerican swine.

The native fascist parties were clowns that started as a pyramid scheme and couldn't even do a coup right.

Of course, America was an apartheid state at the time, so it's really only the democracy and not invading your neighbors bit that we were doing better in the first place.
