Something like that...

Tying off the gushing wound that is interwar American fascism, Fritz invites Boris and Rey down the twisted path of America First. TENE examines two early organized incarnations of this sentiment and gives a broad view of Americanist incubator that twice encouraged Nazis, capitalists, and politicians to join together under a common banner of isolationism, free markets, and anti-Semitism. Fritz explains the career of a bony racist geezer named James True, the "First Firster" whose America First, Inc. mixed anti-labor propaganda with openly Nazi sentiments as he sold custom-made truncheons for the coming pogrom. The main feature, the America First Committee, picks up the torch and turns America First into an 800k-strong movement of capitalists, cultural elites, Nazis, and general isolationists with American hero Charles Lindberg as their face. TENE takes a look at the bumbling FBI and the efforts of British Intelligence to keep American fascism at bay despite J. Edgar Hoover's best efforts. Also featuring: George Deatherage, military contract engineer and the ultimate KKK LARPer, George Sylvester Viereck and his scheme to turn the US Congressional Record into a Nazi printing press, and why Hermann Göring smelled like lion piss!
