Also, when it comes to US reactions to fascism from the 1920s on, WW2 was very much the EXCEPTION, not the rule.

People like to point to the Silver Legion and Jim Crow and such but the native fascist parties didn't even have as much support as they do today.

If you want to argue that segregation was enough to make America a fascist state I wouldn't disagree but Americans at the time simply didn't see it that way, even if some of them liked what that Hitler guy was saying about autarky and making more white babies.
