How was he able to seize total power through elections?
Elijah Green
Evan Bailey
Unironically, women.
Christian Thompson
The legislative body of Weimar passed laws to push most of their functions and powers off to others.
Kevin Sullivan
As weird and alien as it may sound, people tended to vote for parties that not only advocated for things but actually got shit done.
Henry Bennett
He got a doddering old man to sign it over to him.
Aiden Wilson
Check out "The Rise and Fall of the third reich" for the answer.
Ryan Garcia
>How was he able to seize total power through elections?
He was a popular guy.
Kevin Perez
His party didnt recieve that many votes, his party was just cooperating with another bigger party in order to gain majority seats.
He then proceeded to cheat and blackmail (and using fortunate turn of events to his advantage) his way into being elected chancellor.
Once Chancellor, he started to take advantage of loopholes in the constitution, passing "emergency laws" that could bypass parliament, especially when the country came under a "state of emergency".
Continued to do this until he had absolute rule.
Jonathan Scott
The Reichstag fire decree of course
Hitler's mentor the jewish hypnotist Hanussen predicted that fire, and disappeared soon afterwards. He most likely made the literal retard commie Van der Lubbe do it
Justin Jones
No real reason.
Had nothing to do with a bunch of wild, radical commies threatening people at every turn during and economic depression after a war that demotivated the population. Punching down on people already suffering never makes people choose just as radical options right?
Evan Brown
he will always be known as the great white slayer.
he destroyed more white genetic lines than the plague
Carter Young
only the weak white genetic lines survived. hence why this is what you end up with
Brayden Edwards
He didn't do it just through elections, there's a lot of intimidation and removing of political opponents through fabricating scandals or otherwise. It's easy to find both books and documentaries that go into step by step detail on the how and what, and the important individuals that helped him accomplish this.
Elijah Allen
But the long and short of it, he persuaded the courts to join him, and they kept his people out of jail even after they rioted and terrorized everybody else. He took the whole country hostage thereby and bargained for the chancellor's post with the then-president, then simply never allowed any more elections for president after that president died shortly thereafter. Everything he did was by emergency decree right up to the end, never even formally replaced the constitution (he distrusted it and its continued existence helped split the German left over what to do about him, all the way until the army tried to kill him). Funny how people can confuse respect for "words" with the welfare of a nation.
Asher Jenkins
tldr they pretty much finessed their way into power. They were kinda popular in early 20's when shit was wildin in Germany, but as things stabilized they became fairly irrelevant. Then when economy hit the shitter in late 20's they became popular again, with around 30 - 40% of the vote. Obviously a large amount of their voters were voting for them out of a sense of pragmatism rather than following the ideology at this stage. Once they actually got into a coalition government it became very byzantine, with the current chancellor swapping between Von Schleisser and Von Papen as they continuously backstabbed eachother and the other parties trying to form a stable government. In the end the nazi's were pretty much the last men standing and convinced the dying and senile president to make hitler chancellor and have extra constituional powers to get some stability as they had just had like 7 elections in two years. Hindeburg died and Hitler merged the offices of president and chancellor and it pretty much took off from there.
Colton Nelson
Leftists pay attention. One of the conditions leading up to Hitler's rise to power was the general population being sick and tired of antifascists beating people in the streets.
Sound familiar?
Cooper Jackson
Benjamin Anderson
thats when men had balls between their legs & not axe wounds
Justin Sanchez
See "Brownshirts." You can get votes when you beat the shit out of people who won't vote for you.
Carter Cox
hardly a cope. im anti-white, hitler is my hero
Kevin Allen
all of a sudden
for no reason at all
Robert Clark
The country was very different. The loss of the war scarred a lot of the population the same way the French obsessed over 1871 for over 40 years. You had a literal communist revolution happen soon after that. The economy was in shambles. You had the typical problems of the urban proletariat and still a large population in the countryside. He positioned himself in the right spot where he could capture the natural revolutionary energy that normally helps the left while supporting the dignity and nationalism that normally helps the right. He was also the most fastidious of politicians at that time. Where others were compromising, he stood unchanging. Situations like this inevitably favor the stubborn. It's why in our current countries, our "right-wing" parties lose: they have the mindset that they're going to "compromise" before they're even elected.
Brayden Richardson
we're about to beat the shit out of you and any leader you put up against us we will just snipe or drone so try again loser.
Evan Richardson
I don't have a leader retard I'm trying to prevent you from digging your own grave and dragging the rest of us with you
Christopher Green
Unironically, he was channeling divine forces.
