I mean America isn’t one person, so the meme still tracks.

"America allowed a controversial and counter-protested Nazi rally" doesn't really compare to "Stalin invaded a fourth of Europe in coalition with the Nazis"

Whoever invented manifest destiny is definitely in the running though.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that they could not have been Nazi collaborators, on account of the lack of Nazis at the time.

Eh, technically one-sidedly helping Nazis isn't collaboration, but it's close enough.
