Hitler rose to power because 85 year old centrist idiot Paul von Hindenburg appointed hitler chancellor and then promptly dropped dead of old age, in office, one year into his term. Hindenburg did this right after he had won a presidential election while not giving a single campaign speech or debate, and having not much in the way of policy because he was too dementia ridden. There was 86% voter turnout in that election.
A big reason Hitlers party rose to total control after that is because the population lost all trust in the centrists. Sound familiar?
