(40,416 posts)There was a reason that Winnie became PM in May, 1940. The Brits were sick and tired of not fighting the war, under Chamberlain. Once Winnie took charge, appeasement became a non-starter. Admittedly a flawed person, Churchill was the right person at the right time. He was, like Edward R. Murrow described him that May, "the best broadcaster" in the country. He inspired his country to soldier on. Any fascist sympathy was a non-starter after May, 1940. "We will never surrender." Your claim is utter tosh.
It was the USA who had Hitler sympathizers, like Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, and George W Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush. It was FDR who fought these idiots and their politics of neutrality and Nazi sympathizers while Britain was fighting the war. That position here became a non-starter on December 7, 1941, a whole year and a half after Britain had utterly cast it aside.
Sheesh!
