Did Ike ever get accused of being a Nazi? Seems his activities 1942-45
should have forever inoculated him against that particular canard.
Ditto Truman, JFK and Nixon all of whom served in combat. (Well Truman
was a WW1 artilleryman)

     Democrat Truman was never accused of dictatorial tendencies.
He could threaten violence for bad reviews of his daughter Margaret.

     Republican Reagan was not a NAZI but he was a tool of the
Monied Interests with his Trickle Down economics which have never
worked for the people at the end of the trickle down stream as it
is too weak when it gets to the bottom to support the recipients
in good health.

 Lets not forget that when Reagan was President of the Screen
Actors Guild, he cooperated enthusiastically with the FBI and
the House Un-American Activities Committee to root out
Communists, real and supposed, in the film industry. I'm
sure that looked fascist to some.

Distribution of the SAG info was not available
widely. The people brought before HUAC were publicly
humiliated but the informer who provided the committee
with inside information was kept out of the spotlight.
And his Father-In-Law advised him to switch to
the Republican Party in order to advance in politics so
he was clearly demonstrating his adherence to wholly
capitalist ideals, aka profit for the wealthy. So they
never called him a fascist but an Anti-Communist leader
as he rose to power. Like Trump he was a law breaker but
had much better makeup. That was the opinion of my mother
who worked at the Sutter Club in Sacramento and was a
waitress serving Reagan his Lunch while he was Governor
of California.  Reagan was worried about unpopularity
and had sturdy bodyguards who were not invited to eat
with him. So either he was classist or taking his security
very seriously. My mom was a Union worker and thought
his behavior very bad in regards to the bodyguards.
We live in a totally different world in regard to
politicians and their need for security than the
one in the 1940s and 1950s into the 1960s. We
considered the murder of JFK an anomaly but these
days it seems to be upsetting only to the press.
