Yes famously every single german citizen unanimously supported the nazi party from 1933 to 1945.

Have you ever learned about how the Nazis came into power? The cycle that Hitler became Chancellor, they won only 37% of the vote. Before that, it was a meager 18%. One election of 37% was enough for emergency powers to be seized, the reichstag to be burned, and quite simply the ball to be put in motion. I’m sure you would’ve been first in line to protest their actions beyond that point, but it certainly would’ve been quite the challenge to change the course after that point.

If you’re cool damning an entire population off the decision of 37%(of the population that voted), then I guess your reasoning stands.
