# How a Republic Voted Itself Away

A critical-history podcast. Host Eli Rowan and political theorist Hannah Arendt question an AI portrayal of Adolf Hitler strictly against the documented record: how the Weimar Republic voted, legislated and appointed its way into dictatorship, and which of those mechanisms still exist today. A cross-examination, not a platform: no propaganda, no reconstructed speeches, and the Holocaust is treated as established fact.
