RE: 240 GODDAMNEDFRANK

Not sure there’s a point in there. Most Germans would later say that they didn’t know he was going to launch the Holocaust. I know they went along with it, but I think you can argue that in 1934, most hadn’t read Mein Kampf, and even of some who did, they didn’t really think he was really going to do it. Anyway, in spite of the overwhelming vote, Hitler had to devote thousands of men for the sake of personal security from other Germans, and survived many plots against him. I don’t think Hamas, with only 40-odd percent of a vote, has that problem.
