Do your homework. The Nazis won 235 seats in the Reichstag after the 1932 election. That gave them the power to form a government. They were voted into power by the German people and Hitler was named Chancellor.

I did do my homework, and Hitler actually was denied the Chancellorship by Paul Hindenberg, Germany’s president at the time, who did NOT trust Hitler after the behavior of the SA. It took until 1933 before Hitler formally became Chancellor. Don’t believe me? Here are the sources:

I might as well also point out that the SA engaged in voter intimidation as well as street fights against the Communists. By your logic, we Americans are irredeemable because we elected enmasse a quasi-dictator like Barack Obama, twice, and thus we should die and deserve a Dresden right now. I know if I were to use that talk regarding the Germans for nominating Hitler, I’d equally demand my own fellow Americans be destroyed for nominating and electing Obama twice, and even you’d realize that’s crazy. Not to mention, by the end of the election cycle in 1932, largely thanks to the SA’s antics as well as Hitler’s exploding on Hindenberg when he refused him, the Nazis actually lost momentum, lost 34 seats if I recall correctly, which suggests the Nazis actually lost, however narrowly.
