43% for the NSDAP, considering how fractured their system was, was pretty good. He was appointed indeed by his party, it was a parliamentary system. I still say he was elected, seeing as how the party who was democratically elected appointed him. Threw the enabling act and coalitions he eventually became chancellor.

I was never taught in school that the National Socialists were voted into power. They like to skip over that.
Really? My history class was very clear about how the nazi party was voted into office,. With increasing levels of support. Starting out like kind of a joke party, not really taken seriously, then slowly gaining political traction over a period of years.
Kind of hard not to when then political meetings of other parties start getting violently broken up by the brown shirts. And then the Reichstag catches fire. This "mysterious accident" prompts the German patriot act, granting emergency powers to the Fuhrer, who uses these powers to expand his powers. The "votes" after this point are about as meaningful as a vote in North Korea today. Voting for, and belonging to the party were pretty much mandatory for success, and eventually survival. A vote in this case is a show of interest in ones own well being, and not necessarily an endorsement of the leaders policies

They were part of a coalition government with Adolf Hitler appoint chancellor under President von Hindenburg. Hindenburg didn't really like Hitler but he feared the Communists far more. Communism made Hitler and National Socialism possible.

They alway used words and phrases such as "took over", which implies they did it without the people's consent.

Which one? If you mean the one in the blue she's leaning over with her phone to take a picture.

What would you say is the worst aspect of that degeneracy snapshot? The kid involvement? The parental/guardians approving/permission for said kid? The wider normalization of the behavior? Something else?

the fact that they felt comfortable enough in the legality that they uploaded the picture to the internet, meanwhile an ebil straight white male must fear getting sent nudes by a girl who lied about her age or having a photo of him giving her a kiss lest he be locked up for decades on as a felon and sex offender.

All of it together.
Every bit of it adds up into 'modern liberals'
