I mean it's quite different. Hitler wasn't elected (at least not prior to seizing power and effectively banning all opposition). Instead the Nazis got a plurality of just 33% in the Reichstag election, which led to failure to form a government. Then Hitler somehow convinced the center right President to grant him powers which he promptly started abusing and the rest is history.
In other words, 1930s Germany can kind of defend itself in ways the US can't.
Its nothing like Hitler.
Hitler was a vegetarian, who didn't drink and smoke, who was loyal to his partner.
Also, that guy killed Hitler.
I mean, how can you say support the guy that killed Hitler.
I support that guy's Hitler killing policy. Just wish he implemented it in 1920 rather than in 1945.
