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.
