No, he wasn't. He was appointed Chancellor by Hindenburg, as required by the Constitution of the Weimar Republic.

And just how do you propose dealing with conservatives? Round them up and put them in camps? What do you mean when you write, "needs to be put down"? Short of unConstitutional measures, I doubt you'll be able to do anything, and you'll have to settle for simply trying to change their minds.
I'm glad for that, myself; and I'm glad that there are people across the political spectrum here in America. I shudder at the thought of homogenized thought, and think a plurality of viewpoints best serves this country.
