Adolph Hitler became Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Although his Nazi party was now in charge, he lacked dictatorial power. But next month a fire erupted in the Reichstag. Hitler blamed the Communists although many now believe the Nazis themselves did the deed. At any rate, the event resulted in Hitler achieving absolute power over German rule, including effectively abolishing congress.
If a modern cult wanted to use Hitler's playbook, it would certainly wish, as final step to power, the elimination of congressional power. Could it be done? Today, my state would guarantee six votes to allow the fatal act. All they would need would be a catalyst. Scary thought?
