Also, they want streets full of Kluxers.
Honestly I wouldn't expect Kluxers and normal old world fascists to understand each other. One of them is about race, the other is usually about cultural and ideological divisions. Even if the latter use race as one excuse to murder someone en masse, it's not the core of their ideology, the core is that they should be able and need to practice to murder someone en masse. While American racists are something extremely weird.

Holy shit. I'm bad at telling if AI is obvious sometimes. Is this real? It has swastikas (obviously) but it also has the american flag.
Is this 1930s? Or 2020s?
God. The fact I even have to ask is in itself a reflection of where we are as a society I guess.
It's the 48 Star American flag, thus it's the German American Bund in the 30s. To be fair to the literal Nazis pictured it's before the holocaust was discovered. It's not AI, it appears in this 2017 article: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2017/06/american-nazis-in-the-1930sthe-german-american-bund/529185/
Very real, as the other comment says. Nazism was big in the US in the yeas before WW2
Many “great” pictures can be found online
And in the UK.
There was a pro-nazi movement in the U.S. in the 1930's. They had a nazi rally in Madison Square Garden. The nazis went underground for the most part after the U.S. entered WW2.
NS Fascism had several ties to the USA, not least Hitler himself admiring and copying tons of ideas. Esp. their Eugenics movement.
So, what I mean is common roots before 1933 and initially strong support after he got to power.
I'd like to back this up with a suitable article but I can't find one rn.
Eugenics, segregation, Ford's assembly-line technique, and manifest destiny.
