they also had significant amount of nazi sympatheziers too, so not so much as fighting them,
The Soviet Union did far more than the US to put down the Nazi movement and honestly I feel like even back then we weren't super invested in getting rid of fascism
The western powers were far more anti-communist than they were anti-fascist. Not everyone knows that they directly intervened in the Russian civil war years before the rise of Nazism to try and topple the new Bolshevik government.
WW2 was just a temporary pause while both sides dealt with Germany.
Don't worry, the Soviets weren't super invested in it either, until it actually threatened them
What should they have done and why wasn't it enough what they suggested?
The mainstream Western portrayal of the US as anti-Nazi or anti-fascist is one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in modern history, right up there with Napoleon being short. Like, what do y'all think America was doing before, during and after WWII?
I mean, the USA was pro-Nazi until Pearl Harbor, and even then it took a propaganda campaign by the government to convince the American public to oppose Hitler.
Those Nazis were, by the way, inspired by the USA. Eugenics programs in North Carolina inspired later eugenics programs in Hitler's Germany. Jim Crow was seen as a textbook example of how to use the legal system to enforce racial dominance, and was named pretty directly by Hitler as an inspiration.
Fun? fact, Hitler supposedly had a portrait of Henry Ford behind his desk!
America tagged along but the vast majority of the liberating was done by the soviets. We were pretty sympathetic to the Nazis for quite a while. The way you see America now is not an aberration, you are seeing what it has truly always been. It wore a variety of masks to hide its true nature, some of them were even convincing but they couldn't change what America actually is.
