Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming? (lemmy.world)

America's greatest deed was killing a million Nazis. Killing Nazis is great.

For the government to bring a bunch over in Project Paperclip? I don't think they were ever against fascism; they didn't like Hitler's version because they didn't benefit.

And even then there was significant support for the nazis among influential whites, before they started threatening the territorial integrity of Western nations. The US's principled opposition to fascism has always been a retcon.

Though while I don't like how it completely blinds Americans to the dangers of homegrown fascism, I will say there are much worse stories to base a national mythology on. In that sense it was nice while it lasted. Pretty much the same goes for Russia.
