America would get the renewal that it needs.
Eugenics was a middle-class progressive phenomenon, as were zoning laws (to keep the poor from congregating), Prohibition, etc. Nobody wants or desires a petit-bourgeois progressivism which yokes the interests and lives of the proletariat to the "worthy" middle classes. Middle class progressivism is a class response to their declining fortunes and an attempt to throw the mass of the poor into the breach against Big Capital.
Eugenics is discredited because the Nazis used it to decide that 'inconvenient' people be killed. The Nazis took the argument that 'useless' persons do not deserve to live:
The Nazi solution:
a gas chamber in which carbon monoxide would kill the inmate. Hadamar.
American eugenics saw blacks disproportionately suited for involuntary sterilization.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
