Hitler had absolute power by 1934. Public dissent wasn't really entirely quashed until the war.
Exactly. You're disproving your own argument now.
How so? When I said "every political party" meaning including the ones under the liberal democratic umbrella.
Yes, but also the ones on the way to authoritarianism, as was argued the Trump regime is.
Thus, currently allowing some criticism is not enough to disprove the alleged march towards fascism. People with that viewpoint would argue that it's only allowed because power isn't consolidated enough yet.
