Having recently watched Triumph of the Will[1] I have to admit I'm reassured by the impression that US reactionary extremists, at least the goofier part of them as revealed by indictments, just plain lack teutonic thoroughness.

Example: before the Nazis came to power, what would become the brownshirts had disguised themselves as a gymnastics and sport group (Turn- und Sportabteilung), not as a "we carry in tacticool" group.

[1] somewhere after 32:00, what I believe to be the sauce for "I'm doing my part!"

~48:16, Hitler stans Sparta, "we will die, but germany will live on in you".

Compare https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24389335 , which I wrote after reading about guys similar to these, neither of whom appear to have considered that any "Hamas" agent who desperately needed a couple of farmboys to machine silencers might just be sus.
