I mean in terms of percentages.

And I don’t necessarily mean three full terms. 2.5 terms or 2.1 terms or anything nontrivially more than 2 (like, 10 minutes more doesn’t count) would qualify.

    You might believe that the following facts are besides your point, but I still want to get this straight:

    • Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic reached its peak in 1923
    • the NSDAP (the nazi party) got only 2% of the vote in the 1928 elections
    • Hitler rose to power in 1933, after getting over 40% of the vote.

    Note that there were 4 national elections between 1930 and 1933. The Weimar Republic was about as stable politically as a house of cards on a trampoline.

    It’s still true that part of the success of Hitler’s party was due to former non-voters losing fate in the established parties, especially in regards to economic policy, but it is not as direct of a connection as your comment makes it out to be.
