Please remember, like 1933 Germany, America is a Republic - meaning a representative form of government rather than a direct democracy.
The elected president of Germany appointed Hitler Chancellor of the Reich. Hitler and his loyalists rapidly dismantled the parliamentary system of the Republic and called for a new elections. I think this is the election you are talking about.
As Chancellor, Hitler responded to the (suspicious) Reich fire by declaring a national emergency enabling him to seize control of the government.
By the time the elections were held, it was too late.
Nonetheless the election was held and a minority voted for the Nazi Party loyalists (not Hitler). As I said, it was too late - the Republic was already gone. Hitler anointed himself Führer and Reich Chancellor of Nazi Germany.
Here in America, a minority of voters have put a U.S. President in office 5 times. George Bush was the only one who was re-elected by the majority (aka popular vote). The other 4 were removed from office (by the majority of voters).
Only the last one (that would be Trump) attempted to hold on to power. For people who know the history of Nazi Germany, the attack on the Capitol was terrifying. Regardless of Trump's intentions, we had a right to expect him to know better than hold a rally at the same time, on the same day, that Congress was certifying the election. At the very least, Trump should have gone with his supporters to the Capitol exactly as he said he would.
