Are we forgetting about the Steal in 2020? Foolish to think that the Presidency was stolen but not important House or Senate seats, if not straight up the entire upper or lower chambers.
Fyi, Hitler was "voted" into power by only 43%, hardly a majority of people.
And nearly 100% went along with it. What is your point? That the German population is not responsible for Hitler? Sorry. In a notional democracy, the electorate is responsible. Responsibility means they inherit the consequences of their collective decision.
I cut the Russians some slack. There is no basis for thinking the Bolsheviks gained control democratically. They conquered a resisting population through a civil war.
I think what you mean is "nearly 100% didn't take up arms in a revolt against the German government". Otherwise, you are falling for the classic projection of unwavering support all dictators do. Besides, that's a faulty point anyways, ever heard of the 3% statistic in the Revolutionary war?
Additionally, this relies on the assumption that the 1933 German election was free and fair, otherwise it's just it's a select-tatorship shambling in the cloak of a democracy.
They made their bed and they lay in it. The alternative was the Communist Party. It was the fact that these were the only alternatives that lay at the feet of the public, which points out the public's responsibility to have had better choices. (There was also a kind of Bolshevik revolution before the end of the war that deposed the Kaiser and installed the Weimar Republic. There was also no unified national polity. There are all kinds of excuses, but no other responsibility.)
Read more about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. He conceived his duty before Russia and God to "tell the truth" or to "combat the Lie." He was only one man. Did he think he would prevail? They suppressed him. They exiled him, because he was drawing too much attention. But he prevailed. He returned. His masterwork, "The GULag Archipelago," is now required reading in Russian high schools (thanks to Vladimir Putin).
Solzhenitsyn simply brushed past the flimsy excuses for victimhood and accepted responsibility to combat the Lie. That's what we need to do.
