      Schlafley’s 1964 book was a huge, surprise hit and did much to boost Goldwater’s fortunes in the GOP primary. Am I wrong to be a bit surprised by her unorthodox take on America’s role in WWII?pic.twitter.com/c0sZrpP01z

      Not unorthodox for hard-right. It's standard view that fighting Hitler was a mistake.

      With the sense that Naziism would have died without our intervention, or that Nazis were actually good?

      Nazis were less evil to Godless communism.

          The idea that Stalin was worse than Hitler was fairly common among the America First crowd.

          Some were even briefly jubilant after Germany invaded the Soviet Union, thinking it made American involvement in the war less likely.

          That was thesis of the book that got Buchanan (temporarily) booted from respectable Conservative circles.

          It’s saying the quiet part out loud in terms of how the hard right views Jewish people.

          The America First crowd used to openly say it was a Jewish war and not our problem.https://twitter.com/onthemainline/status/1153669213615247361?s=20 …

          My father told me about an Optimists’ Club meeting in the late 50s. He said no one paid too much attention to the program until, at the end, the presenters said “Don’t you know communist recruitment when you hear it? Why didn’t you say something?”The presenters were FBI agents.

          My father, who was far from right wing, told this story neutrally (thus approvingly by default) in the early 60s. By then we were on opposite sides regarding the war in Vietnam. I had an entirely different WTF reaction to the inappropriate involvement of government in politics.
