      Did he also run on a platform supporting the holocaust “because it’s in the interest of our country and our ally” despite much of much of his constiuency and nearly the entire rest of the world saying otherwise?

      Did his supporters call their fellow party members “stupid, single-issue voters” when they vehemently rejected said platform?

        Lol. Ironically, the left at the time (backed by Soviets) attacked liberals for not being left-wing enough. That division allowed the NSDAP to complete their seizure of power when a left+centre coalition could have stopped them.

          Sounds like centrist liberals have been causing everyone issues for generations now.

            The liberals who tried to stop the Nazis but then had to face attacks from people like you on the left as well? Congratulations, you must be very proud.

              Well, when you support and espouse Nazi ideals, you should expect to be attacked for it. It didn’t work out for them then and it isn’t working out for them now either. Maybe they just need to try it 15 more times and it’ll finally work.

                You may have misunderstood what I’m saying. The German far-left spent its time attacking the social democrats (SPD) while the SPD were focused on stopping the Nazis. If the center and left had united, there’s a very real possibility that the Nazis would never have seized power, thus preventing WW2. And the far-left, of course, were rounded up along with other undesirables. I’m sure they had mad bragging rights in the concentration camp, though – “at least we didn’t side with the centrists!”
