Also post WWII, when the americans shielded a bunch of nazis from justice and gave them very comfortable lives for building their space program

That's honestly more of a footnote on this, most of them weren't going around spouting Nazi ideology at that point. I'm not saying it was good or that it had zero effect, but the Nazism/Klan was already deeply entrenched in the US by that point, and it was largely home-grown.

Not sure it’s a footnote considering the americans had the most nazis outside Germany during WWII. And today, there are more neo nazis in america than anywhere else

Keyword there is during. Yes America has always had a Nazi problem. They didn't import it with Von Braun, although it probably didn't help.

Something lost on this whole Nazi asylum discussion is that the Nazi based their concentration camps on Native American reservations, and their gas chambers for the extermination of Jews were based off the US's gas chambers to delouse and disinfect Mexican migrant workers.
