Well, he didn't do it democratically to my knowledge.
Who? Hitler? Are you trolling? He did win the elections in 1932. By a fat mile in fact
That's why the phrase "to my knowledge" is useful. I can say any kind of thing as long as I add 'to my knowledge' to get rid of the responsibility.
I feel like his actions up to that point had been rather undemocratic, though, you know? It still reads like a lengthy magic trick to me.
