They were more fifth columnists and propagandists, I'd say. Never sent an armed mob to destroy the Capitol or murder a VP. Though Lindbergh was outspoken and the movement was Nazi sympathetic. Lindbergh thought communist USSR was greater threat than Hitler. He was antisemitic, white supremacist nationalist and so was America First. But the two parties still had principled members. I'd say today's America First movement which has taken over the GOP, in part by the election of some real uneducated and unfit members and the power lust of some others, is more dangerous to the Republic.
