Why on earth these people didn't vote?

Well, in 1933 when the NSPD came to power they had 43% of the seats in parliament (I haven't found the percentage of the total votes but I imagine it was much less). That did not prevent them from repeating the elections at the end of that year and getting more than 90%, you can imagine how.

Even a part of popular culture accepts that they came to power by winning elections and the German people feel and felt the shame that they came to power by democratic means, which is only half true.

I feel sorry for the American people, but they elected this team under the same rules of democracy as their previous presidents. To claim now that his election was not democratic is to distort the facts.

Because of Americans inability to get their fat asses off the couch and vote, the rest of the world has to suffer the consequences.

Eh. If democrats ran candidates that actually cared about the working class, they would win a lot more elections.

Percentages may be more digestable, but it really makes me curious about the total vote counts of each category now:P

Well the OG Nazis only got about 30% so I'd say he's justified to a dictatorship

This is true of every election except maybe one.

Nobody always wins. The "winner" is always elected by a tiny minority. It's a fundamentally corrupt system. Always has been. Literally concocted by genocidal slavers.

The election was stolen with Russian and Muskys help.

Don't enable the abusers narrative.

It should never have been close enough for them to matter.

This is who we are.
