"Hitler attained power in March 1933, after the Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act of 1933 in that month, giving expanded authority. President Paul von Hindenburg had already appointed Hitler as Chancellor on 30 January 1933." -- Wikipedia. APPOINTED . . . not elected. No wonder people say that leftists don't actually know history . . . they just feeeeeeeeeeeel that they know history.

There were five major elections in 1932. There were two presidential elections; there were two national elections; and there was a big Prussian election.

The Nazi Party won most of those elections in a landslide, in effect forcing Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as the head of the majority government. Hindenburg hated Hitler from the start but at a certain point, he had to face the fact that his position was entirely symbollic.

The Nazis were literally voted in. And I couldn't help but notice that your summary missed out the elections entirely.

So . . . you ARE calling an appointment an election? Hahahahaha! That explains so very, very much.

Let me give you an example.

By formality, the Prime Minister of Great Britain is appointed by the Queen. The only people who directly vote for the Prime Minister are their constituents as they are also Members of Parliament.

Can you say - and would you say - that the Prime Minister is not an elected position?

Everyone knows who they're voting for. Everyone knows that if the Conservative Party wins, Boris Johnson would be Prime Minister, and they're in effect voting for that position as much as they're voting for any local politics.

You can't really say that Hitler wasn't elected. And you DEFINITELY can't remove the 1932 elections from the historical context. It's just misleading to the point of being false. Of course they were voting for him. Don't be silly.
