Nazism wasn't exactly unpopular in the US at the time (and still is, unless you mention it by name - think Alex Karp). It required a concerted propaganda effort to reverse that, with limited success - in the end Americans hated the German nazis, but never completely rejected their ideas about race supremacy.
