There are alot of examples of dictatorships and fascists governments that historically did start out as democracies. Usually it's because dictatorships are better at dealing with security situations, and if people feel insecure enough, they will sell out their personal liberties in exchange for a sense of security.
Still, even though the US government is slowly heading in that direction over the last few years, we still have along ways to go before the government completely breaks down into a fascist dictatorship, and I don't think neocon's scare tactics will be effective for much longer, and which points things will swing back closer to the way they were beforehand.

In 1932, the National Socialist Party got 32% of the votes. After that, Pres. Hindenberg decided to name Hitler Chancellor.
What does this have to do with the election of members of the US Congress. If the Congress is Democratic after the elections this year, will you say that this can be explained by "knowing that Hitler was voted in democratically."
Use your head - it's the little things that count.

Actually Schickelgruber (Hitler) wasn't voted in democratically at all. But I suppose if careless people keep repeating it enough, it will be believed. See the link below for the true account, based on Wiliam L. Shirer's book, Rise and Fall of the Third Reich:

I understand the question and more power to you, but the Nazi thing is over the top no matter who brings it up. Hitler was a monster. Bush is a spoiled little boy who fooled many many people. Stay away from the Nazi and Hitler stuff. It well not win any friends to our point of veiw.
Keep up the good fight, brother!

Hitler wasn't exactly voted in democratically. Read your history. And, Hitler was a socialist.

Ahhhh...the old derivative equivocation linking Bush and Hitler...
Let me see now....
Embrace a large national welfare system.
Embrace a large national health care system.
Embrace harsh and strict controls of business and commerce.
Embrace blatant intrusion into employment in the private sector.
Embrace outlawing the private ownership of firearms.
Embrace the identification of races in order to give a race over other races.
Sound familiar to you?
Erk!!! Liberals!?!?!?! I wasn't extemporizing on liberals!!!
ALL of that is part of the political philosophy of the NAZI party.

I mean.. people want a "strong leader"
if you ask someone why they voted for bush... the majority of the answers are very similar to the reasons people supported hitler...
fear of terrorists... he has "balls"... he has christian morals... believes in a strong aggressive military... doesn't like to compromise or talk peace... he's better than the "liberals"...
all of these could've (and probably were) said to support Hitler...
it's all based in the conservative fear...
