Our grandparents held a lot of the same beliefs as the alt-right today. That's why it is inaccurate to label the alt-right "LITERAL NAZIS." They aren't.
They believe in the traditions of America, not some revisionist history from post-1965 public schools that America has always stood for unfettered immigration from the 3rd world to create cheap labor for our capitalist overlords.
The greatest generation openly advocated for an all white United States. They saw the United States as a white nation. To mischaracterize the people that handed you the greatest country in the world is not honoring them. It is revising history to serve your current morality, which serves neoliberal capitalism.
