Hitler was never voted into power. When all 4 of the parties opposing antifa's bullshit consolidated, the legislature appointed Hitler as the Grand Chancellor.

Yeah there would almost need to be some sort of setup to preserve the parties, because it seems to be human nature to want to form a Zerg to crush everything

didn't some dude in a wheelchair say something or something?

the fundamental problem of the weimar republic was that german liberals agreed more with adolf hitler destroying jewish people than with german socialists destroying private property.

Apples and oranges. Parties consolidating under the Nazi umbrella didn't want socialism which was largely being forced upon them by antifa Jews. Shouldn't have overpushed.

The same thing here. Most people I know that are dedicated to trump simply hate left politics so much that they are choosing the only provided opposite to something they see as imminently and permanently damaging.

If we're going to talk about true democracy, then socialism in the united states is a minority view. That means no. For at least right now. If you can't accept that truth, then expect more Trump's and possibly even another Hitler because you're not respecting democracy in the first place.

You mean, like, mob rule? Where the a literally retarded person's vote offsets a genius'? Like that kind of "true democracy"?

I won't call Hillary voters geniuses by any stretch, but the retards votes did offset in that election. We have a lot of retards.

Education is the only hope for non-toxic politics in this country. And considering that I get notes about once per quarter where I can "opt-out" of my kids learning about things like science and civics based on my religious or political bias, I don't hold much hope there.
