Right, but in order to be "science based" you do have to be led by someone who actually believes in and follows scientific consensus.
Not someone who doesn't believe viruses are the cause of disease, wants to revisit the fraudulent claim that vaccines cause autism, doesn't understand that people will die if you stop pasteurising milk etc.
Hitler got into power after hyperinflation though, he wasn't the one who caused it. It was the failure of the centrist government on the economy which led to the rise of the far right and far left in Germany.
