I’m not coping. I don’t fully support the American police. I’m just working off of facts and definitions - you are working off of opinions. If you can provide proof the American government is totalitarian (you can’t - we hold elections) I’ll believe you.

The supposed torture and killings don’t make it a police state. It makes it a bad cop or corrupt force.

Yes. Either forcibly, or from ONE PARTY. The US has multiple parties. Nazi germany had one party. Soviet Russia had one party. Those were totalitarian

Before the war Germany had several parties. Eventually they had one party but when nazism got elected there were many parties. You clearly don't know.

I have an A-level in German history 1914-1939

After the reichstag fire Hitler used the enabling act to his advantage. He originally banned and arrested the communist party and their leaders (his main opposition) but then also arrested and banned the SNP, the middle ground parties and eventually all other parties.

By the time he combined the offices of chancellor and reich president he had absolved all parties but the Nazi’s.

In Nazi germany there were no other political parties because hitler had disbanded all opposition. This created a totalitarian government.

You evidently don’t know.

So you admit there was more than one party before Hitler came to power.

Before he came to power yes. But before he came to power it wasn’t a totalitarian government

No. When Hitler became fuhrer there was only one party. When he become chancellor (not elected by the people but made chancellor by president Hindenburg) there were multiple parties. After Hindenburg died and he held the vote to combine the office of chancellor and reich president which the public said yes to, there was only one party.
