K and W for Radio Stations? There are a few AM stations that were licensed before the current FCC scheme, in NY WOR is one of them, getting a 3 letter call. In Pittsburgh there is KQV, Nashville has WSM (Home of the Grand Ole Opry), all these licenses came before the modern FCC.

'The only thing my ring & Wagner's ring have in common is they are both round.'
- Tolkien
The Fascists' claim to Nietzsche is essentially false.
But HenryFord ...& Wagner - a bit more on point...
The film Lizstomania (nutty Ken Russell) portrays Wagner as essentially a Vampire...
Still the suggestion that Wagner is the Best Composer that Nobody Likes is maybe pithy...

The Fascists were later than Wagner - but his ideologies on Race make their claims to him somewhat legit. They certainly employed him that way.
HenryFord was specifically a contemporary Sympathizer. That he is also the Father of Capitalist Industrialism as we now know it ...draw your own connections.

As Ford was a Nazi Sympathizer - I suggest an analogy between HenryFord's Capitalist materialist assembly line mentality & the methodical in fact industrial mass genocide posited in Nazi political constructs. Did Ford call for genocide specifically ? I don't know but neither (im)plausible deniability nor - Yes he did - would surprise me one bit.

The Currency of Elections has *always* been Enthusiasm.
Not so much Consideration of Facts - nor Civility (per se - tho the mass perception of them might have valence) - abundant examples in the Past (& any Past) can be referred to...
It is, after all, the Executive Branch. If there is no Leadership, why even have it - we have the Judicial & Legislative Branches to attend to other things. Character matters after all...
