I dont know any of denmarks politics, but both can be true. The NSDAP was more or less democratically elected, MAGA as well

Saying the NSDAP was democratically elected to power is a perpetuating a fascist lie. The NSDAP was always using undemocratic methods, such as political violence and voter intimidation, and finally, outright banning and persecuting political opponents and entire political parties. That is not being elected more or less democratically.

If you have been taught bad history, then enlighten yourself, rather than continuing to give fascists false legitimacy.

That has happened in the US for at least about a century and people still consider our presidents democratically elected.

I have been taught good history, by my professors at uni, I am teaching history myself actually, have today actually.

Of course they had their propaganda, scare tactics against opponents and so on. Just like all populists, from the AfD, to MAGA. But they were in ar least one State in the Koalition, so part of the government, in 1930.

After that they were more and more populistic and hateful and despite that they won more and more votes over the following years
