"fake news" Vs. "Lugenpresse"
How is drumpf's saying "fake news" different from Hitler's saying "Lugenpresse"(lying press)?
(Can't wait to be accused of hate in a ranting off topic reply from a certain trumpet)
If you don't know the difference between a Nazi dictator and a duly elected president stating facts that most Americans agree with then you are to be pitied.
shareIf you don't know that Hitler was democratically elected as well, then you are to be pitied.
And most Mericans don't agree with drumpf. Most disagree, hence his less than 50% approval rating.
Hitler was never democratically elected. He was appointed as chancellor by Hindenburg after being soundly defeated in the 1932 presidential election. Try reading a history book.
shareHe was still elected as part of the government democratically and then changed the government to a dictatorship....and the people let him.
shareNope! Hitler was never democratically elected, although the Nazis were the biggest party at the time of his appointment. Furthermore, "the people" had absolutely no say once the Reichstag Fire Decree was issued by Hindenburg in 1934. Anyone opposing Hitler after that point would've faced the full force of the German government.
shareExactly, the Nazis were a large party in Germany's democratic elections of 1932. Then over two years they slowly took more and more control.
So Hitler and the nazis were elected. With less than the popular vote. Sounds like another similarity 🤔

Except it's not an "insult". Not only are you IGNORANT of history, but you're also IGNORANT of the English language. You should go back to school and learn the English language.

If calling someone "ignorant" is an insult, then you just insulted me. Reported.
shareYou sound unfamiliar with parliamentary democracies. In the UK for instance Prime Ministers are first elected as the MP for their local area. The political party who receives the most number of seats in the House of Commons gets to form a government and the leader of the party that wins is made PM. In Australia the PM is elected through a vote by members of his or her parliamentary party that wins.
But it would be stupid to say the British or Australian PM isn't "democratically elected" because they are. They're just not directly elected.
Just like it would be stupid to say Hitler wasn't democratically elected to the chancellorship because he was selected by his party in power. That's the way it works in democratic parliamentary setups, and Weimar had a hybrid system where one could be directly elected or elected by the party reps in parliament.
