He won power because the conservative Centrist Party agreed to form a coalition with him and voted for him as chancellor, as well as for his Emergency Law that abolished democracy, even though he had written Mein Kampf years earlier, which already included plans for everything he did later, including the Holocaust.

The signs were there before he became Reichschancellor. People just didn’t think he and his party would basically rewire the whole German government into a totalitarian cult of personality. And then we all found out the hard way.
And I’ve already learned that lesson, having lived in Venezuela. Venezuelan people think that this year’s elections will bring change - nope. As long as the authoritarians are in power, they control everything. Those elections are truly rigged.
The U.S. is different, though. Voting still works. For the people who don’t believe this, I’d like them to explain how Trump lost in 2020 while trying to illegally stay in power.
