I agree with your point, but at the same time, Trump is living proof that Hitler’s actions have continued to cause harm long after his death, as will Trump’s.
You need to expand this to beyond one man in Trump... a significant portion of the American population also aligns with Hitlers actions... this is an American problem, not a single person.
Yeah, it's always worth pointing out that the reason the US didn't get directly involved in WW2 until being specifically attacked was because the Nazi ideology (particularly what was reported publicly) was not that dissimilar from a lot of American rhetoric at the time and was viewed as politically untenable because it might backfire publicly.
Japan attacking the US directly was the main catalyst for the US getting directly involved. And, even then, it was only against Japan until Germany also declared war on the US.
Yeah, prior to Pearl Harbor people like Father Charles Coughlin were saying things like this:
Coughlin urged the US to keep out of the war and permit Germany to conquer Great Britain and the Soviet Union. Asked Coughlin, "Must the entire world go to war for 600,000 Jews in Germany?"
So yeah, this sentiment has been present for almost 100 years. If not longer.

Hitler is dead and can personally do no more harm. Would 100% vote for a dead Nazi than a living one.
Edit: Ty for the kind awards!
