In the early 1933 elections, the Nazi party got 44% of the vote, and with their allies in the Nationalist Party had a clear majority. No other party came anywhere near that 44% in the multi-party election. The results were announced, I believe, the day after Roosevelt took office, over here. If you have access to any reliable Newspaper morgue from the time, check it out.
Of course, Germany had always had a large Leftwing. Hitler managed to bridge the gap between the Leftwing "masses" and the ruined German middle-class.
Obama's careful use of Nazi choreography in the campaign just ended, was not,in my opinion, accidental.
Now, what will follow? Remember that it was a couple of years befrore Allende's full intentions for Chile became clear. Even Castro gave the Cuban property owners a several month honeymoon, after they rallied to his successful Revolution in January, 1959, believing he was the voice of anti-corruption reform.
For my analysis of what has just happened in America, Obama & The Week After--A Dissent. I am not predicting an attempt to build an American equivalent of Nazi Germany or Communist Cuba or Chile; but given the hypnotic lunacy of the Obama campaign; given the insane adulation; given Obama's past disparagement of the Constitution and traditional American culture; given his obvious collectivist ideas; given the involvement of people like Ayers, as a mentor for Obama; we would be foolish beyond belief if we did not consider the possibility. As Jefferson cautioned, "Eternal Vigilance" must remain our watchword.
FDR, for all his socialist faults, was a ‘Nationalist’ in terms of defending and protecting America.
Obama lacks those qualities, I don't see him taking on the edge of a ‘Hitler’ in terms of rallying a Nation, but more on a Global cooperation to solve problems.
I suspect he will send troops to the Congo next year and other fun adventures trying to fix global solutions.
