I dont know, although popular to say that Hitler wasnt legitimately elected, it seems to me that Hitler was the one who should have been appointed chancellor given the 1932 election results: 248 Nazis+DNVP 133 SPD 89 Communist 90 CDU/CSU predecessors 584 total Nazis+DNVP got 42.5% (compared to 44% in the first 1932 election)
This leaves 3 choices: SPD, CDU/CSU, and Left are willing to form a coalition. They kind of did for a short period Hindenburg rules by decree: not really democratic Hitler appointed They kind of tried the first 2 without much success before resorting to the third. What else could they do? So, I dont think Hitler's appointment as chancellor was unreasonable based on election results (I'm obviously not even remotely supporting Nazi ideology or Hitler).
Now imagine what happens if Qanon wins 30%, Ds win 48%, and other Rs win 22% of the electoral vote under our system.
