The Enabling Act
The government in the newly elected Reichstag brought to its table the Enabling Act which was to give Hitler's cabinet legislative powers. The bill required a two-thirds majority in order to pass and the Nazis still needed support from other parties. Efforts towards this drastic 4-year abandonment of democracy had been continuous off and on for some period, perhaps since the Centre Chairman Ludwig Kaas had independently contacted now Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen on 6 March.

Appeasement and capitulation didn't work for Neville Chamberlain, and it won't work for the Democrats. Look to Churchill if your object is victory over your oppressors:
"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival."
"We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength...we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

anyone with at least two functioning brain cells could ever compare the chimp's incoherent ramblings to the stirring words of Winston Churchill.
