. That movement largely vanished after World War II when a new generation of Americans discovered the horrors of authoritarian fascism.Arnold Toynbee, it is said, argued that every 80 years or so America repeats its greatest political mistakes, and must learn that lesson through mass death because 80 years is the rough span of human life.
In the 1770s, Americans fought and died in the Revolutionary War against British oligarchs and their colonialism policy, that generation's version of authoritarian fascism. Politicians and newspapers who'd spotted the rise of authoritarian fascism in the old South and in the 1930s America First movement tried to warn the country about the dangers of rising fascism here and abroad.And now, roughly 80 years after World War II, here we are again.
