I think the democratic aspect can be overemphasised. The Weimar Republic lasted only 15 years and lurched from crisis to crisis. It was rife with political violence, several attempted uprisings, military with questionable loyalty to this new government, economy in taters, so politically unstable that rule by decree had effectively become the norm.

Democracy didn't prevent his rise, but democracy was barely existent.
