Wait, I thought the Nazis were the ones looking up at the Americans and based on them
It goes both ways. Nazis were inspired by the US specifically the Jim Crow era, And US were looking up to Nazis until Japan nuked pearl harbor.
"Japan nuked pearl harbor" 💀💀💀
not nuked I meant bombed lmao
Imagine if Japan legit did a reverse Uno card on the US lmao
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.
The US is democratic?
I didn't say America was about to side with the Nazis, I'm saying the Nazis took inspiration from American policies
