To: When do we get liberated?

Try 1932. The Nazis steadily increased their vote totals in 28, 30, and 32, by which time they had 44% (more than Clinton in 1992). With the "Conservative" party, they had 52% in a coalition, which, as you correctly (but irrelevantly) note, "appointed" Hitler. The fact that he personally didn't win a slate is completely irrelevant, and totally nit-picking. It was democracy that gave Weimar Republic Hitler, and those who don't remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

No, it was poverty and the allowing of unfettered militias.

Ever since WWII we have seen that fact that democracies seldom invade each other. Read The Pentagon's New Map.
