So? They were elected to govern with a junior coalition partner. Which is what they did until the parliament voted more than 80% in favour of giving the NAZIs total rule. You can't argue with that. You also can't argue with the fact that previous Chancellors that were appointed represented parties that were much smaller (i.e. half the size or less of the Nazis in Jan 1933). One Chancellor in fact didn't represent any party! And he still issued "rule by decree" to avoid parliament.
I'm still waiting for you to simply say, "When I said Hitler was elected, I was wrong."
Either you can do this, or you can't. The fact that you keep answering with irrelevancies while ignoring the point I was making speaks volumes both about your knowledge and your character -- or lack thereof.

But now we (or rather I) know he didn't that just makes present USA even more similar to Hitler: Trump has never had a parliamentary seat, and Cruz is a first term senator (correct?) And just like Hitler they're at the extreme right of domestic politics.
He is wrong: you can tell him that a high-school graduate from America has corrected him. And in the meantime, you can yourself take a lesson about worshiping authority rather than cottoning to facts.
As for the rest of your snippet here, that is simply you trying to rescue a slipshod comparison. Trump is the more fascist of the two, but neither of them are "just like Hitler". That's because "the extreme right" is obviously (to anyone with half a brain) a relative term. "Extreme right" in America in 2016 means something different than "extreme right" in Germany in 1932 which means, again, something different than "extreme right" in 1789 France.
Do you see how stupid your argument is now?

No problem with you being wrong, but really, lad, you shouldn't be obstinately so.
