We know that Dolores Umbridge was not associated with Death Eaters before Voldemort’s return. We also know that Umbridge collaborated with Voldemort and Death Eaters after the death of Rufus Scrimgeour. However, the reason for this collaboration is not clear.
I thought of the following reasons:
She went too far to help the Ministry deny the return of Voldemort, so she was disliked and distrusted by Rufus Scrimgeour, i.e. pushed to Voldemort.
She hated muggle-borns from the beginning.
She thought Voldemort would certainly win so she wanted to advance her career further by aligning with him sooner than others, i.e. just opportunistic.
Do we know why exactly she sided with Voldemort? Is there any evidence supporting any of these possible reasons?
Edit: In order for clarification, she might not be fully aware that Voldemort is back for good, but she did collaborate with known Death Eaters directly. The question asks the motivation behind her eagerness to help the cause of the Death Eaters, not necessarily directly Voldemort himself.
