Biggirl you don't need to worry about that... If Obama wins there is a very good chance that the country will go bankrupt, the economy will collapse, martial law will be declared, and the GOP will be done.

In the last truly “free” election in Germany before WWII on November 6, 1932 the Nazis received only 33% of the vote. The Nazis formed a coalition with the Social Democratic Party which gave them a 53% majority and Hitler was named Chancellor on January 30, 1933. As Chancellor, Hitler asked German President Paul von Hindenburg to dissolve the Reichstag and call for a new parliamentary election. The date set for the elections was March 5, 1933.

On February 27, 1933 an arson fire burned the Reichstag, Germany's Parlement building to the ground. It was allegedly started by Marinus van der Lubbe, a communist and unemployed bricklayer. Many historians now believe that the fire was planned and started by the Nazis themselves. This “crisis” created a huge backlash against the communists and a huge boost in popularity for the Nazis.

Still on March 5, 1933 the Nazis were only able to muster 43.91% of the vote. Hitler alleged that Germany was on the verge of a Communist revolution and was able to form another coalition and pass the “Enabling Act” on March 30, 1933 which essentially gave him dictatorial powers. The rest is history...

In March 1933 Germany had the best educated population in all of Europe. They were largely a homogeneous, traditional and cautious society. Yet they were able to be led like lambs to slaughter down the path to complete destruction. Anyone who thinks that something similar could not happen here is a fool.
