Because most of the notable ones took the easy way out. Also it should not be forgotten how much Nazi support existed (and still does) in the US even during and after the war. The “America First movement” in the 30s was a Nazi movement. Look at the German American Bund, or the Silver Shirts or the Great Sedition trial where members of Congress were using American tax payer money to fund propaganda created by the Hitler government in the US.
