18. Not During The War

Their activities were actually banned when the war began.
The Garden event was their one big deal on the national stage & was effectively ruined by Jewish & Italian protestors (really mobsters) who gave their stormtroopers quite a beating, then won the public relations war by getting the American people to blame it all on the stormtroopers.
Their leader was deported to Mexico over non-prosecuted embezzlement and his citizenship was fully revoked.
They lasted about 4 & a half years.
Their predecessor organization was less virulent and fell out of public favor as the nazis took control in Germany. Their own membership was split on supporting what was happening in their homeland.
They were a short-lived, noisy minority.
Now, the business relationships between American corporations & the nation are a different matter. But, those weren't politics. They were strictly about money.
