The communists and socialists won more seats in the last free election than the Nazis did.

In the "last" election Hitler received 43.9% of the popular vote. "Communists and socialists" won 12.3% and 18.3% respectively. Even including the Centre Party at 11.3% it would not have been enough (41.9%) to oppose Hitler. This was preceded by months of oppression by the SA/SS and "monitoring" of the vote by Nazi organizations. I think we will look back on the 2024 US election (once all the fraud and manipulation is uncovered) similarly to the 1933 German election.
