Tbf, that was true of the Germans and the Nazi party too. People talk about Nazis and Hitler as if Hitler himself was the main guy who did everything, a monster cut from whole cloth... but they were democratically elected because they spoke to the fears, anxieties, and antisemitism of voting Germans at the time.
