In the November 1932 German federal elections, the NSDAP won 33% of the vote.
These were the last free & fair elections before the Nazis seized power in 1933.
Remember: fascists don’t need to win a majority of the votes to end democracy.
They just need to split the opposition.
Fingers crossed that French left & centre right voters truly understand this before the second round.
