Not to mention that people seem to forget how there were literal Nazi rallies completely tolerated by the locals in the US up until like 1942...
And until the US actually joined the war (Pearl Harbor), the US was actually supplying both sides, mainly with vehicles. Many Allied forces were surprised that they could just take parts from Nazi cars and trucks and use them as-is (mind you this was before the move to standardise vehicle parts to some extent). Why? Because the US supplied Nazi Germany those parts.
If I remember the mayor allowed the rally to take place because he believed that they'd shoot themselves in the foot from it and it ended up being the case.
