I agree with you 100 percent Dave. But the example you are using is perhaps not the best. He gained control though democratic means by winning in the Reichstag a plurality ( I can't remember if it was a majority I could be wrong) in 1933. Then he convinced Hindenberg to appoint him Chancellor and he then took complete control. In other words the German people elected him and then he subverted Democracy after he became Chancellor. He did not really rise to power against the will of the people since he was elected.

I hate people even implying that American presidents past or present dead or alive Republican or Democrat are anything similar to Hitler.
