No, if you actually read about what actually happened in 1930s in Germany, the government disfunction led to people demanding more powers will be given to the government, to fix things finally and to end the instability and the economic woes. And the careful stoking of hostility between political tribes and fear of each other made people to seek the government as the ultimate arbiter and protector. Which proved to be spectacularly bad idea when it turned out the guy who ended up being appointed as the head of the government, in charge of fixing things, was Hitler, and instead used them to consolidate the power in his own and his party's hands and end the Weimar republic. People weren't passive or avoiding the politics. They just thought the right politics is to elect the right people to the government and give them all the powers. Which has a very spectacularly awful failure mode if after the powers were given turns out those people are not exactly right, but you can't take the powers back anymore.
