I am talking about how in a democracy you must also have a path for the next Hitler to be elected.

It should be possible to run for office and say that you want to make it into law to kill whatever group you want. It might be desirable in some abstract sense to not have candidates running for office that don't want to do that, but that's not relevant.

I think anyone, but especially politicians, should be able to chant for example "less $RACE people" all they want. How can you get voters, if you have to keep your plans a secret? It doesn't make any sense, other than to protect the interests of those currently in power.

That's not what Hitler said or did.
