What would be the impact of a Nazi victory in Europe on US politics?

Imagine a reality where the Nazis managed to conquer the Soviet Union in 1941 with the conquest of Moscow and Hitler began to radically transform Europe into his twisted view of perfection (Installing puppet regimes, exterminating undesirables, etc).

What would be the impact of such an occurrence on politics across the Atlantic in the United States?
 
Very heavily armed 'neutrality'

Domination of the Americas lest the Nazis gain a toe hold in South or Central America

Very close cooperation with the Canadian Government and suddenly very large Royal Canadian Navy
 
Well I think we would to large extent just see pre-WWII American politics continue. USA would focus on dominating the Americas and keep the European powers out of it.
 
It would be far leftier as a reaction to the vileness of the Nazis. Tankie mentality would be very popular as something has to justify support of the truncated USSR as well.
 
A divide between internationalist Dems supporting active containment/rollback of Nazi influence vs. isolationist "Fortress America" Rs. The Rs have a significant internationalist faction as in OTL.

The Dems dominate the political scene as long as they embrace internationalism, just like how the GOP dominated at the Presidential level from 68-92 because they were perceived as being prudent (Nixon) or tough (Reagan, Bush I) on communism when that was the big existential threat of the day. It is telling that the only presidential election lost by the GOP during this period was 1976, when the dominant issue was governmental integrity. Every other election was won with over 300 EVs and all but one were won with over 400. With this as the model for this ATL scenario, I'd say that the Democrats do similarly.

Eventually the GOP is subsumed into the internationalist consensus en masse and a new party system forms.
