Never underestimate group membership and sense of belonging. Add a dash of getting to feel superior to others and seeing a what they think is a solution to what they think are the cause of their woes (i.e. minorities, jews, oddly-shaped rocks, etc.) is a powerful lure (even if those "problems" aren't actual problems, but they have successfully been fooled into so thinking).
