Didn't basically the entire country of Germany fall for it with few exceptions? You think they were evil or just misguided? Maybe they thought they were doing the right thing?
It's not that simple. Among many other factors, Hitler was small potatoes until it was advantageous to those in power to start givig him more power, including the capitalist classes who saw a choice between bolshevism and the NSDAP, and chose the Nazis.
No disagreement there but I don't think it's good or insightful to assert that the people you find to be personally distasteful are the same people who are likely to associate themselves with evil. Quite the opposite actually!
