    No, because then that would lend credence to the idea that nonviolence is not only desirable but effective. You cannot vote out fascism, it can only be cleansed with blood and fire. Plus most people in Germany would have definitely not "rejected" Hitler at the time by any margin. There's a reason de-Nazification took so long in the East, and failed miserably in the West.

      You'll never convince me that fighting Hitler was good, because I am doing what the Germans call "der Sarkasmus."
