Except that those European factions literally grew or radicalized wildly in response to free, unmoderated, instant communication provided through American free speech absolutism promoting the concept of providing a public space for all speech. AfD is literally organized on Facebook, and the radicalization of League uses all those free speech from things like FAIR which are allowed to make up whatever they want and present it as academic in the United States - literally manufacturing a refugee crisis in Europe. It’s the same argument as gun rights advocates ignoring that guns travel from states with little control to states with lots of control.

There’s also the point that the US State Department has been promoting the far right globally for seventy years.

Contras, Mujahideen, Syngman Rhee, Batista, Syria’s “moderate rebels”…
