"I’ll be here until you dimwits admit that Hitler was never elected to anything."

Of course you are arguing a technicallity, and what's the point?

Everyone knows, Hitler's Nazi party gained increasing shares of the German vote, from the mid-1920s to 1933. In the last more-or-less legitimate election of 1933, they got around 43%, making Nazis the largest party in the German parliament.

Since it was Hitler's party, it's pretty legit to say that Hitler got 43% of the German vote -- by the way, about the same as our own Billy Clintoon in 1992.

At that time, Paul Hindenburg was president and didn't much like Hitler, but apparently couldn't find anyone else to do the job, so he appointed Hitler chancellor.

Once in power, the Nazis quickly made certain they would not be voted out again.

These are not disputed facts. Do you disagree?

A techni-freakin’-cality? You either are pregnant or you aren’t? You are either are elected or you aren’t. He wasn’t. Just admit it.

*In the last more-or-less legitimate election of 1933, they got around 43%, making Nazis the largest party in the German parliament.*

Which was still not a majority and did not control the Reichstag on their own. The majority of Germans DID NOT VOTE FOR THE NAZIS.

*Since it was Hitler’s party, it’s pretty legit to say that Hitler got 43% of the German vote — by the way, about the same as our own Billy Clintoon in 1992.*

No, it’s not “pretty legit”, because the Weimar elections didn’t work the same way ours do. The Germans actually did vote for the other guy [Hindenburg] at a higher rate. Goodness, you are dense.

*These are not disputed facts. Do you disagree?*

You are disagreeing with undisputed facts in your own post!
