They got enough votes, to get Hitler nominated as chancellor. Of courses it wasn't an absolute majority but still enough. Doesn't sound like an invasion to me. Or did maga and trump invade the USA? All good people there, then a small margin less than half the country, came from somewhere and supported trump, yeah sure. Hitler then as chancellor used existing legislation like Notstandsverordnungen to solidify and extend his power. Still not an invasion. Narratives like that put the blame of the rise of fascism on external forces, when it's an internal process.

Fuck off, you just want to argue semantics so you feel better. An invasion of power structures is an invasion, you're trying to make some essentialist argument that Americans have some inherent, essentialist component that makes them vote for fascists or something, which is far worse than arguing if the term "invasion" is appropriate. Don't bother replying.
