Response to a comment saying Hitler enjoyed massive support from people:
Really ignorant.
You don’t know what you are talking about.
Hitler’s party reached the zenith of its vote-getting at about 37%.
He never had a victory.
He never had a minority.
He certainly never had a majority.
He was appointed Chancellor by a desperate, aged President von Hindenburg during times of great stress and turmoil in the streets.
After that, there was effectively a coup, quickly-written new laws, and a dictatorship.
“Votes” taken after the Nazis were in power are meaningless, just as voting under Stalin was meaningless.
Our world is not made better by promoting ignorance, as you do.
