I have a slogan ITTL "Slay The Silver"
Slay the Silver? It's cool, but how do you tie that to Nazis?
How about "Down with the Reich!"

America First party, pre WWII had the "silver shirts". They were a sort of fascist movement under the cover of isolationism
And today on "things that could go horribly wrong."Yeah, but their not around right now to mock.
Oh, I just thought of another idea. In light of the black uniforms the SS wears, Americans could say "black out!"
I can only imagine using that insult having a considerable chance of going very, very badly due to one simple reason: The American South.What?

What's wrong with good old "Bash the Fash"?
I've been reading the discussion about the plausibility of America's swing to interventionism, and I want to explain my reasoning. IOTL, American isolationism lost a lot of popularity in the years leading up to Pearl Harbor. Sure, Americans were initially interested in neutrality, but very quickly recognized the German threat for what it was, especially after the fall of France. Indeed, almost 90% of respondents in a poll conducted in the summer of 1940 stated that in the event of an Axis victory, Americans should "arm to the teeth at any expense." Two-thirds believed that a German victory would put America in danger. There was a large shift away from isolationism in the two years before Pearl Harbor, one that I think would continue through the Forties ITTL. I don't see how that's implausible, to be honest.
Pearl Harbor did a lot to convince isolationists that they were wrong, sure, but they were already squarely in the minority by that time anyway.
What exactly is the policy America and its allies have toward German and other Europeans refugees? Not just the people the Nazis have singled out for mass murder and/or enslavement, but ethnic groups made second class citizens and even Aryan people who can't stand living under the Nazi heel. Will the Rio Pact accept people wanting out of fascist Europe?
If you're say, a German tried to reach the UK by taking a raft across the English Channel, would the authorities grant that person asylum, or would they deport them out of a Germanophobic contempt? If you were a Dutch person wanting to keep your ethnic identity, would US authorities be more sympathetic?
And is Germany increasingly subjecting its population to North Korean restrictions on movement? If a German person who try and flee to England and other Rio Pact countries, would their families all end shipped off to a concentration camp?
Hoping to see a Conservative Republican win soon
Generally, Germans are accepted, although they are treated with suspicion. Ethnic groups persecuted by the Germans receive much more sympathy. Worth noting that there aren't many Axis refugees in the Rio Pact; it's hard to cross the Channel or trek across the formerly Russian wilderness.
