    You still seem stuck on the idea that winning the German election was important. I’m reminding you again that it took hitler approximately 1 year to go from losing that election in 1932 to consolidating absolute power in 1933 with the Enabling Act.

      It looks like Hitler’s rise to power was the result of Germany’s proportional representation political system and the inability to form government. He was able to keep forcing elections until he won.

      So the analogy is not appropriate.

      Took me a while to get wikipedia to tell me the voting system.
