Honestly I'm kind of surprised (but really not) that we didn't make being a far-right Nazi illegal back in the 40s/50s

I mean, that's the time period when the united states went hard af against a breath of communism with McCarthyism.

Why would we, the U.S. wanted those Nazis to start building rockets to fight the communists. Hell, we almost immediately started supporting Franco's fascist regime in Spain! The U.S. has always loved fascists, the only reason we fought them is because the Axis decided to force us into the war by attacking the U.S.
