The conservatives were never normal. Not in 1930 and not today. Conservatives act polite and keep their hatred to themselves when it suits their best interests. But the moment a conservative feels safe to be themselves, the hate flows forth. Hitler did not create the nazis anymore than trump created the magats. They were always shitbags. They just needed someone to give them permission to be themselves.
Conservatives are natural predators of any group they see as vulnerable. They seek out weakness to exploit in normal people. Normal people do not do such things to others.
I think we're not disagreeing but just using "normal" in different senses. I mean "not unusual" (half of the population leans conservative) while you mean something like "well adjusted" or "healthy".
