Just looking through the list on the poster above:

Hitler wants us to believe that:

• Democracy is dying
  Our armed forces are weak
  The "New Order" is inevitable
  Jews cause everybody's troubles, everywhere
  We are lost in the Pacific
  The cost of the war will bankrupt the nation
  Our leaders are incompetent, our Government incapable of waging war
  Stalin is getting too strong, and Bolshevism will sweep over Europ
  We must bring all our troops and weapons back to the United States, and defend only our shores
  American democracy will be lost during the war, the two-party system is dead, Congressional elections will never again be held.

Americans will not be fooled!
