First of all propaganda. When you visit SNS you can see how people get caught by convenient points of view.

In case of Germany, there was also a financial crisis. People wanted a reform, and Hitler found out that blaming it on the Jews manipulates people efficiently.

The next thing is the flaws in election. To win a government you don't need 50% of voters. Some don't vote, some can be gerrymandered away, and you can often win with a 30% of votes in a multi-party system.

Finally, you don't say the quiet part loud.
