It's democracy until it isn't. Hitler was fairly elected.

  No. Hitler was designed by the bourgeois president Paul von Hindenburg (his party would the right wing of the US democrats) as chancellor,to 'stabilize' the country. The previous election saw the Nazi party voting share go down to 33% from 37% the previous vote, and the communist gain 3%, for a total of almost 17. The 'center' was also shocked by a transport strike, and choose to support Hitler as chancellor. The following election the Nazi did 43%, and decided it was enough to take full control. The communist and socialist constantly fighting (probably organised by the USSR) made liberals the only dam again the Nazis, and it was quite frail.
