No, we don't remember. It might have to do with the fact Hitler wasn't ever elected for anything. Neither has NSDAP ever had a majority before they took power

- thesimpsons1022 10y agomajority had nothing to do with this. You're just trying to deflect the issue. They had the plurality and hitler was their man
- nzp 10y agoI'm not deflecting. Their best result was something over 35 % (don't remember the exact number) of the votes, and that was in the elections before the ones they supposedly won. Democracy failed not because the "general public is too dumb to vote", it's exactly the opposite. It fails when the ruling class overrides the general public's vote, as they did in the March 1933 elections in Germany.
