Mainly, he was an "isolationist". He believed that the US needed to mind its own business, and not get involved in a European war. He was a leading member of a group called the "America First Committee", which was a fairly large organization dedicated to keeping the US out of the war in Europe. Interestingly, he did stand firmly against Japanese aggression in Asia and the Pacific.

Also, Lindbergh was somewhat sympathetic to the Nazi cause. He held right-wing, especially anti-communist, political views, and also had some white supremacist leanings. So Nazi ideology seems to have been OK in his mind; he made many trips to pre-war Germany, and often wrote in defense of Hitler's policies. At one point, he even tried to buy a home in Berlin, but was talked out of it.

However, once Pearl Harbor was attacked, his prior beliefs were swept aside and he offered to join the US Military as a pilot; he did eventually fly some combat missions.
