For the record, Hitler initially won power through elections, he did not begin the whole totalitarian thing until he was already the Chancellor.

The signs were there before he became Reichschancellor. People just didn’t think he and his party would basically rewire the whole German government into a totalitarian cult of personality. And then we all found out the hard way.
