You know, there may be a reason why the Germans understand what’s going on here better than a lot of Americans do

@gtconway3 Don't drag the Germans into this; only 30% of Germans voted for Hitler. In America, over half of Americans voted for the American Hitler.

@cpurdy @gtconway3 Yes, 33% voted for Hitler/NSDAP (still making it the strongest party), but another 17% voted for the communists (KPD), so that the democratic parties couldn’t form a coalition with a majority. Meaning only a minority voted for democracy.
And >50% voted for Hindenburg as president, who enabled the takeover.

History may not repeat itself but it often rhymes.
