Oh man, how I desire you to be wrong here. But I fear you are completely right.
Here in Austria, in the country that produced Hitler himself, we just have a new government which was in part elected because of the cry for stronger leadership (and tougher laws against immigrants). And what are they doing atm? They had the police storm the so-called "constitution protection agency", that was investigating against parts of the government. Luckily, the public outcry is strong, which shows that enough people still care. But they shouldn't have been elected in first place.
