    In the Weimar Republic, the Nazis never got more than something like 30% of the vote. Fascist “loud minorities” are still incredibly dangerous.

      They got 44% of the vote in 1933, and another fascist party got 8%. Then there were a couple more far-right parties.

      Two weeks later, Hitler passed the Enablement Act with the support of all the non-left-wing parties, effectively giving him full dictatorial control.

      Fascists weren’t a loud minority for Nazi Germany, they were the majority.
