Doesn't work. Nazis operate by active not passive methods.
Big point is that everything the Nazis accused the Jews of, democracy is doing.

The pioneer spirit valued realism
Pragmatism often means too much acceptance of the situationa s it is.
Realism means enforcing the reality principle even when unpopular.
If you take a copy of Mein Kampf and replace "the Jew" with "democracy," it starts to make sense.

Focusing on what works I think is one of the major contributions of the US to philosophy in the 19:th century, pragmatism.
