Yep exterminate the Jews, gays, trans, blacks, Polish, Russians, virtually anyone who wasn't a pure white straight Christian
Actually the Nazis would have likewise liquidated the Christians eventually as well had they won the war. Their goal was not just a pure "Aryan" Europe, but also a Pagan one as well.

And you'd achieve that by killing the Jews and the Slavs? The Slavs mostly live near the fricking Tundra and the Jews actually add to the economy. The Jews would probably be the last group in general I'd seek to eliminate since they tend to be law abiding citizens who pay their taxes and instill positive values in their children.

Yeah, they were actively sending members of the Jehovah's Witnesses to the gas chambers.
Honestly, even over pedophilia, the Catholic Church's biggest shame should be allying itself with the Nazis. The Church acknowledged his birthday for God's sake.

False.
Hitler was never elected to any position in Germany.
There are many thing you can question me on... but history is not one of them....

On August 19, about 95 percent of registered voters in Germany went to the polls and gave Hitler 38 million "Ja" votes (90 percent of the vote). Thus Hitler could now claim he was Führer of the German nation with the overwhelming approval of the people.
The next day, August 20, mandatory loyalty oaths for all public officials in Germany were introduced:
"I swear: I shall be loyal and obedient to Adolf Hitler, the Führer of the German Reich and people, respect the laws, and fulfill my official duties conscientiously, so help me God."
Hitler, at long last, had achieved total power in Germany.

The Germans had the RAF on its knees.
Not sure I agree with this. My recollection of history is that the RAF devised a plan along with radar that essentially neutralized bombing raids over Britain. Accepting this, the Nazis decided to launch V2 rockets/bombs. It had an impact, but by then it was too late
Actually the Germans did have the RAF on it's knees by late summer 1940 during the Battle of Britain. At that time the Luftwaffe focused it's attention on British airfield and their radar line. However, before the RAF was finished off the Germans changed their focus from the RAF to British cities, thus giving the RAF a respite to catch it's breath and regain it's strength.
As for the V1 & V@, those did not come until much later after the battle of Britain.

Germans were having a hard time buying bread. You left out a ton of information that lead up to the people revolting. Hilter was just at the right place in history to take the reigns. Jews were entrench in the financial climate, while common Germans were starving. This didn't happen in a vacuum. Certainaly wasn't right, and Hitler needed culled from the herd, but let's not act like the Jews were not fricking people over.

The Luftwaffe had the RAF is a state of disarray and on the brink of collapse. But Hitler was angry after the UK bombed Berlin in response to Germany accidentally bombing London.
If Germany continued to bomb strategic targets the RAF likely collapses. But Hilter made a strategic mistake (shocker) and started bombing civilian targets and allowed the air fields to regroup and repair.

Um, you're apparently unfamiliar with Mit Brennender Sorge and the extensive underground railroad the Church ran during WW2.
