It’s very possible Germany becomes run by Nazis again.
Nope. Not a chance. I do see how it could look like it, though.
There’s around 25% convinced right wing supporters in Germany. That number hasn’t changed all that much in decades.
Now shit looks bad cause all 25% have rallied behind a single party, instead of being split into reluctant conservative voters, non-voters and hardcore Nazi party voters like in the past.
But 25% aren’t enough to take over our system. Our entire country was specifically designed to prevent that, from top to bottom.
It is not possible at all. No one familiar with German law and culture think this. This is not a talking point I have ever heard discussed seriously. There ist probably hundreds of reasons why it could never happen. Our legal framework ist very strong and we have a strong civil framework of resistance in case something goes in that direction.

Yeah, but they’re still a lot less Nazi than the USA were in 1939.

The US wasn’t run by Nazis in 1939 though. The same (rather popular) guy was President in 1939 was President in 1941.
