92 years ago to this day Hitler was elected Chancellor of a democracy.

I teach my students about the absurdity and dangers of the Fugitive Slave Act - vigilantism and racism combined with authoritarian power trips based on ego/nationalism rather than policy or principle is really dangerous. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
