    I mean it’s quite different. Hitler wasn’t elected (at least not prior to seizing power and effectively banning all opposition). Instead the Nazis got a plurality of just 33% in the Reichstag election, which led to failure to form a government. Then Hitler somehow convinced the center right President to grant him powers which he promptly started abusing and the rest is history.

    In other words, 1930s Germany can kind of defend itself in ways the US can’t.
