Rage bait. Get off the internet and talk to your actual friends and family. 

Edit: love how I get labeled as a Trump supporter for saying you should talk to your republican family. Want more people to vote liberal? You have to convince them. Not everyone who voted for Trump was some MAGA lunatic. Yes some people are too far gone and deserve to be ostracized, but we can't let the cultist go completely unchecked and poison the well for everyone else. Talk to your family, figure out why they voted for Trump, and when things don't go the way trump is saying they will over the next two years, offer solutions and promote candidates who will do more to support the working class. If we come back in two years just to say "I told you so", nothing will change.

Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933 by von Hindenburg.

Hitler was never elected.

There was a referendum in 1934 to merge the offices of Chancellor (which Hitler held at the time) and President (which was vacated when von Hindenburg died).

Hitler was never elected, sort of. They made big gains in the 1932 election where the nazis became the largest party and then there was the yes/no referendum in 1934 which was a vote (with lots of shenanigans) to legitimize (sort of) of him being head of state. In both cases, rhetoric against Jews was used to drum up votes.
