There's a small element of truth to this meme, but it's being used by fascist patriarchal authoritarian personality types. These are people who go with the mob and the establishment. They hide in crowds and lynch people when they can get away with it. They decry the unwashed and "jobless" freedom fighters for taking a stand in the street. They want to submit to power. Their drives have been sublimated for use and manipulation by power. They are akin to the Nazis.

In a post on the site Wednesday titled “I’m So Scared,†Anglin called on readers to “troll†liberals and Trump opponents in hopes of driving them to suicide. The post contained a list of tweets from people who said they were frightened by the outcome of the election, along with a meme that read, “your punishment must be more severe.â€
