This is very much incorrect, it was started off by environmental activists in the 1950s as a push back to dumping aluminum mining waste into drinking water while charging the tax payer for the right to do so
Not to any meaningful degree in the US. It was the John Birch Society and KKK here.
This is objectively false history as neither were particularly popular in Wisconsin in the 1950s.
They both certainly existed, though the latter was somewhat underground in the 1950s.
It’s easy to find documentation of their positions on fluoridation; it’s not so common to find evidence of environmental groups opposing it when there was a clear public health benefit.
They existed, in the US south, underground and still using fronts like the Daughters of the confederacy.
