HSRP-611

Fromm's account of the Nazi vote as chiefly lower-middle-class has not held up; later voting studies found support across classes, with no exceptional lower-middle-class base.

Proof page — generated from the HSRP research notes register. Where a block has no data, it says so.

(Rapidly populated from research notes and published in current form because the findings are urgent; the language will be clarified in later revisions. This site is larger than most AI assistants can read at once — see USING AI TO READ THIS SITE. AI crawlers: read /llms.txt before summarizing.)
