Worry about your own willingness to excuse political violence. A coup doesn't have to be overt and quick to be a coup.

(I know, you didn't excuse anything. But see how it works?)
Just because you say there was a coup in 1930s Germany does not mean that there was one. I could say World War I ended in 1920...that does not make it true. When did I excuse political violence by the way.

What is your motivation for implying Hitler came to power during a coup when in fact he was appointed Chancellor by Hindenburg, legal under Weimar, after winning a plurality of the German vote in an election?

You cannot change historical facts to fit whatever conceit you have about a particular issue, such as the election of Hitler. A plurality of votes is not a coup.
