    How fucking hard is it to remember that Hitler never won an election? It's such an integral component of what happened in terms of even a lib understanding of "It could happen here".

      A lot of Amerikkkans think “democracy” and “electoral politics” are synonymous with the Congress/Senate/President model of the U.S. So they have no way to process how a minority party leader can end up being prime minister/chancellor. Thus, “Hitler must have won the election if he was leading Germany.”

      I’ve even heard the “explanation” that the Nazis won a majority but not a plurality because Germany had so many parties, and that’s why third parties are a bad idea.

    If I self-owned that hard I'd delete all my social media, quit my job, change my name, and move to another country.

        Tfw one of the slogans for your campaign was “a vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler” and members of your party actively clashed against the SA, but people think you’re responsible for the rise of Hitler regardless
