Tristan SnellHitler was elected chancellor of Germany with only 43.9% of the vote.
But because the anti-Hitler forces were divided, Hitler won.
Hitler then made himself dictator and abolished free elections.
🟦🧙🏻simp@tristansnell the NSDAP in 1933 had a lot more than double the votes of the next party (SPD). More than four parties along the whole political spectrum (communists, socialists, nationalists, christians, etc.) would have needed to form a coalition to stop Hitler from becoming chancellor. 43.9% rivals the majorities the CDU had in the 1950s and since 1987 no party ever had majority that large. The number seems small to people from the US, but in real democracies this is a decisive victory.
Aaron@shinjiikarus @tristansnell I think the point is that we have enough crazies here to push through a victory for fascism if we don't stick together.
