Sounds like the different type of Nazis under Hitler's Germany

You had the die-hard fascists (the 'death to Jews and Gypsies' types);

the staunch anti-socialists (for whom democracy was of no concern, so long as 'das Sozialismus' was being kept at bay);

the 'economic' Nazis ('he's crazy - but the economy is better');

and the ones who mostly just went along to get along ('everyone I know seems to be for it - and I don't want trouble').

History likes to rhyme...
