It's important to remember in this context that the nazis never won a majority of the popular vote in Germany. Even in 1933, after they had effectively taken power and despite saturation coverage of their campaign, the arrest of many opposition politicians and Brownshirts and SS marching around intimidating people, they only won 43% of the vote. The Republicans have faced the same problem, which is why they gerrymander; and also why Trump lies about the scale of his election victory.
Glad you brought up gerrymandering. It is another flaw we need to deal with in this country's politics and governance. A few states use a by-partisan council to decide on the boundaries of congressional districts. We do in my state and we have no problems. One has to wonder if gerrymandering had not been abused, would the man have won? Hmmm
