Actually, Hitler was NOT elected. The Nazi Party never had a majority. Hitler's supporters rioted in the streets, undertook assaults and acts that were blamed in their opponents, and rendered the Weimar government unable to govern. So, Hindenburg succumbed to the demands of the "popular" mainstream press and the mob's and appointed Hitler Chancellor. If that sounds familiar, add in the German versions of feminism (the founder of Planned Parenthood was a devout Nazi), red baiting and McCarthyism, and rage against the Jewish 1%.  The current anti-Trump protests are frighteningly similar to the anarchy that saw democracy in Germany destroyed and The establishment of Hitler as dictator. Be very afraid.
