Libs: If it's not tyranny for someone to be elected democratically, then you agree that Adolf Hitler wasn't a tyrant?

He was popularly elected.

Update:

Biden is a Nazi through and through.

    He was appointed chancellor because the Nazis won the most seats in the Reichstag, though not a majority. 

    As Chancellor, he disenfranchised the Jews, arrested the Communists and Social Democrats and put them in Dachau, making the remaining Nazi deputies a majority.

    Then, the Nazi majority elected him President, and with the majority in the Reichstag, gave him dictatorial powers and suspended future elections, and disolved the Reichstag.

    Tyranny can exist in any form of government.  In the words of Mohammar Gaddafi: "Of course Libya is a democracy!  But as a practical matter, the strong always rule.

    sorry if you claim biden is nazi trump is a nazi too. they follow that saaame old rule set. you wigheads cant get it through your head your just dealing with differant personalitiez not different policies.

    try this. hitler was not popularly elected. he was the only one running because europeans follow whatever bootlicking orders they are fed or else. It doesnt matter another name was listed.

    that one was not the one to vote for.

    okiknowit: great attempt but just a little more murderous. the reich was controlled by austria so to seize it he had to murder every officer that belonged to austria. Some in belgian. some in poland. and lots that belonged to germany too. the few that escaped into allied areas? Thats what the gestapo spies looked for. It wasnt just 'arresting' or 'placement' in dauchu. They died.

    What he did AFTER being elected was tyranny.

    Hitler wasn't elected.  He was appointed as Chancellor after the Nazis took the largest share of seats in the Reichstag (although not, crucially, a majority). 

    But just because someone is elected doesn't mean they can't be tyrannical.  That sounds actually a lot more like a conservative argument than a liberal argument.  Nixon famously said, albeit after his presidency, that "If the President does it, it's not illegal".  President Trump has reiterated similar thoughts, saying that as President "I can do whatever I want" and that "the authority is total".  His people have also argued in court that he's completely immune to any sort of legal recourse over his actions whatsoever.  No liberal would argue that.  Soon after Hitler came to power a mentally ill Communist set a fire which damaged part of the Reichstag, the German parliament building.  He used that crisis to get himself granted a set of emergency powers.  Once that happened it was the end of German democracy.

    You must be so full of crap that your brain is floating in it.  It does not matter if a person is elected if he then dismisses the legislative branch and becomes a dictator.

      ====  I am a little rusty on history, but I thought the Chancellor appointed Hitler as President, so Hitler never won an election.  ... Or maybe I have the titles backward.  The Nazi party won many positions in the Reichstag (parliament) but I don't think they ever won a majority, just enough to screw with the other parties and keep them from having a majority. ---  If you want to lie, you need to know facts so you can then try to confuse people with a few of them while lying.

    Adolf Hitler was never elected by popular vote. He was appointed Chancellor and from there eliminated any competition He got the "Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich" passed which gave him the power to achieve what he wanted to do. Kind of like the bill of goods the DNC is pushing. It sounded good but in the hands of an evil person it became evil.

    What are you on about... tyranny is a behavior and possible no matter how someone was elected.

    Hitler's top vote tally was about 35% .  He gained control in the Reichstag under questionable means 

    Biden isn't a Nazi, so you're 0 for 2.

    Three weeks after the passage of the Reichstag Fire Decree, Hitler tightened his grasp on Germany by the passage of the Enabling Act. This act gave Hitler's cabinet the power to decree laws without being passed by the Reichstag—effectively giving Hitler dictatorial powers. That's not the behaviour of someone who abides by the rules of democracy. 

    So in that case, I expect you think Trump should suspend Congress and declare himself dictator immediately . . . and isn't A-Rod one of the sock accounts of the dubious Paul Grass?
