I'm not sure I would call "Nazi successors finishing in second place" is exactly rejecting Nazism. But I see your point.
Good point. And after I posted that, I thought about an even more improbable assertion.

Who would have thought on February 23, 2045 that 80 years later, Germany would "reject" a Nazi party advocated for and enabled by the governing political party in the United States, while the United States would be governed by a fascist party advocated for and enabled by the dictator in control of Russia.
 

Merz On Track to Win German Election​

Conservatives’ expected victory comes despite a historically strong showing by far-right AfD​


“… Despite a historically strong showing by antiestablishment nationalists in a ballot that extended Europe’s recent lurch to the right, Merz’s Christian Democratic Union was on track to win the vote by a comfortable margin, according to early exit polls.

The results, if confirmed, mean Merz would start talks on forming a government this week and is likely to become Germany’s next chancellor and a central interlocutor for President Trump in Europe—but the way there could be rocky.

Initial projections by public broadcaster ARD gave the CDU and its CSU sister party in Bavaria a joint 29% of the votes, followed by the far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, with 19.6%. Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party looked to have scored 16%, its worst score since the late 19th century. …”
 
There are conflicting exit polls about how well AfD performed — regardless, it will be above historic performance but could be at the lower end or below projections going into today … a mixed bag.
 


Welp, looks like AfD hit the anticipated 20%. At least their earlier momentum was blunted.
