And given how 'drafts' generally go down in the USA ... a lot them (or their offspring) would've been off fighting for the Allies whether they liked it or not. Hell a lot of them would've already been in the military.

A lot of them would've been rooting for the Nazi's prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the alliance between Germany and Japan that came soon after, but once those two things happened, I don't think MAGA's by and large would've been pro-Axis.

IMHO, this is by nature such an anachronistic question that's it's really unanswerable. It's kinda like, could the '72 Dolphins have beaten any Super Bowl winner of the past decade?

Too much has changed to answer that. Same with this question.
