One more time: Hitler was Not elected in a popular vote. He lost the
popular vote (In the first election, Hitler lost to Hindenburg, 30 to
49 percent. In the runoff election, Hitler lost to Hindenburg, 37 to
53 percent). He was appointed Chancellor, and then used his party
machinery to destroy his opposition via arrests and intimidation.

The fact remains that you seem to be unable to distinguish between
voting vs. appointees. Perhaps a dictionary could be of some help to
you...!?

Bravo, while you display your penchant for espousing narrow semantical
points, e.g., "In English we use the period as a decimal point", you
simultaneously engage in transparent attempts to deliberately distort
historical events. Your 'selective' treatment of factual information
is dishonest at best. Facts are only pertinent when it serves your
purpose.

You obviously haven't got a clue about  'Fallacious Arguments'
and how it applies to critical thinking. If you did, you would spare
us your drivel....
