Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.
I tell people the reason fascism is not just another form of politics is that its core tenet is there should BE no "politics." It is to politics as cancer is to the body, usually getting power by hijacking the legitimate functions of democracy to bad intents.
"Politics" means, discussion, disagreement(and agreement), votes, dissent, protest, the idea that other views have as much right to power.
Fascism believes none of that. It simply shoots you if you don't do it.
