chauvanism

BTW it's "chauvinism". I don't mean to be an asshole, I just see this incorrect spelling of this specific word very often. 100% agree with your comment.

You're talking about the triple parentheses, right? I was also wondering that. If it is a dogwhistle, what does it mean? "The Jews are... ???" Supporting the DPRK???

He was able to keep forcing elections until he won.

He literally did not win the election. As I just told you, he lost the election in 1932 and within a year he had essentially absolute power. Democracy didn't matter to the nazis, they took power when they were able to practically, after hitler was appointed chancellor by Hindenburg.

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.

Yeah, in that case "the vast majority of Americans" are wrong. You're also overestimating how many people believe in that sham of an electoral system, look at polling on whether America is democratic or look at voter participation rates.

"A better world is not possible, the best we can do is moderate hitler unironically" was NOT on my bingo card for today, but here we are.

I didn't even catch that TBH, but the implication that social democrats somehow AREN'T liberals is funny.

choose hindenburg in 1932

get hitler in 1933 anyway

historians are still trying to figure out how this happened /s

You're acting like the nazis were waiting to be given power legitimately when they in fact abolished any democracy the moment they were able to get away with it. The timeline here wasn't driven by "can hitler get enough votes to win", hitler took power however he could (he didn't win the vote) and abolished voting as soon as he was able. I don't know why you think that voting against the people who plan to abolish the right to vote will do anything, they literally openly do not respect the practice or the outcomes of votes. Politically, you are staring at the shadows on the wall of Plato's cave and getting mad at people asking you to actually exit the cave and do something that might have an effect against fascists.

I’m also aware of what would’ve happened if Hitler as elected instead.

Literally exactly the same thing?

are you aware of what happened when hindenburg was elected

By that logic, Hindenburg was "better" than Hitler, but choosing one still got you the other in the end.
