No, they're selfish and borderline retarded sheep. When a few retarded sheep start making the suffering noise, they'll all join the chorus because they don't have the capacity for independent thought
To add, many Nazis were unrepentant.
And life for most Germans turned shitty really fast, with wages dropping to depression levels with a lot more work hours.
Group think is bad. Larger the group the lower the IQ.
Does that count here and on Reddit? Although I'll say here on Lemmy, folks are much more open to actual dialogue than on Reddit.

This is true of USA in general though. The state is always attacking people inside and outside its "borders". But people still genuflect, sing the anthem, "defend the constitution", etc. It's not just "social identity". It's a nationalist cult.
Are we all just cowering down? Reading these comments makes it sounds like we should just all give up.
The message of the post itself is that we have power and we need to exercise our power, and we cannot wait for foolish people who believe in Mr. Orange.
As for the comments, you conveniently did not say which comments you disapprove of. So it feels kind of hand wavy to try to respond to you. I see many comments written by people who are clearly not cowering down, so either those showed up after you got here, or your interpreting them very differently than I am.

Social identity is key to survival, so it's no surprise how resistant people are.
An old mentor of mine at UCLA did a study where they put people in an fMRI machine and monitored brain function when feeling rejected during a digital game of catch. When the other two "players" (NPCs) started only tossing between each other and excluding the participant, the part of the brain responsible for physical pain triggered.
Not being rejected from others around you is so important to human survival that evolution hardwired our brain to feel pain at the slightest hint of being rejected. Other experiments found similar, we forego an awful lot to stay in good graces with our society.
**EDIT: Like you all didn't just try to get us all to vote for a literally brain-dead guy who let you get poorer for four years. You may not want to admit it, but you're the same as they are.
LOL
The irony here is that this meme is equally applicable to all partisans no matter your team color.

That and cons will always find a way to spin something to cause outrage and anger towards anyone but themselves.
Just went through that with an elderly neighbor recently.
She broke her foot and is in poor health, so we were walking her dog twice a day cause we are nice like that. She was always praising us for being such good people and a godsend to her.
One day, she made a comment that she thought Trump was doing a great job and I gently tried to explain to her that he was ruining our lives and countless others out there.
I was hoping she would have a moment of introspection, but no. She just immediately went on about the democrats, how we get offended too easily, and how she thinks I swear too much but she doesn't hold it against me.
Everything except: "I'm sorry. I didn't realize."
Told her we no longer feel comfortable walking get dog.
Cue the waterworks and the "What about me? I can't walk!"
It's not worth engaging with these people. There is something broken in their brains.
They are brainwashed. The people we hate are actually some of trumps biggest victims. They are the victims of brainwashing. And they will soon be victimized in other ways as well. And when they question it, Trump will blame them, othe people, anyone but himself. And like victims of narcissistic abuse, they will do the mental backflips required to forgive Trump.

All Trump's gotta do is blame the Dems. Already going that route
And his dumb ass parrots will repeat his lies forever no matter what evidence they’re presented with
This is BS.
Every single election we are told that economic hardship is the only thing pay attention to. Sure, many of these rubes will continue to be fooled and are irredeemable. But a shit ton are going to notice and eventually get tired of getting fucked.
I am not saying they will stop voting republicans because they do seem to like the pain, but they would sure as hell eat the current administration
