Just a couple dozen Bernie Sanderses in there, yelling and shaking their fingers.

I mean I don’t think it’s entirely fear; if they had a full grasp, they would be a lot more scared of what Trump is trying to unleash, because that will impact their safety and their families’. Try to find someone in Nazi Germany or revolutionary Russia said “It’s okay, I just stayed on the right side, and so everything was fine.” I think mostly they just haven’t grasped that this is different, or don’t know what to do / don’t have the inspiration to do something different than what they’ve always done even if they do see it coming.
