There were several laws put in place in postwar Germany that specifically suppressed them. This was broadly effective, though I think the modern-day position of the AfD shows it was not completely so.

In the US, any such legislation would be struck down in court as unconstitutional.

So, it's just not that simple.

Right, so you start beating the shit out of them until they learn to shut the fuck up and stop showing up. Make them afraid.
