Well half of them doesn't know what they support, many literally think they are opposing nazis by voting in nazis.
The other half think they are fighting nazis pushing for the '"safe" alternative to the nazis, the unpopular aristocrats running as the status quo against nazis running as a reform party in a time of anger and upheaval at the plutocratic rot evident to all.
Very few knew they were supporting nazis, although it's a percentage, several percent, and that includes almost all of their influencers and leaders. Bannon, congress, prosecutors, judges, the executive branch, state house officials.
Those several percent that knew what they were supporting, they didn't do it because of eggs, they did it because they think they will benefit, and apparently think they will never be thrown out of the club. That they will benefit, itself showing a lack of understanding on how this would play out.
All true, but they should have known. Politics was never meant to be a spectator sport. It requires work, even as an ordinary citizen. Especially as an ordinary citizen.
