Yes,

Sheep.

But sheep are OK and are the majority everywhere. They are good people that pay taxes, work, get along, follow the rules generally, serve in the military if called to do so...

The problem, as you insinuate, is that these sheep will also go along with bad ideas. That was true for those that were OK with British oppression and acted against our founding fathers, during the Nazi rule, in the former Soviet Union...

The sheep will accept just about anything (as in feudal times) and today in our more socialist, publicly educated, secular and effeminate society, I would argue that the percentage of “free men” even outside of the idea of leader vs. follower is far less than in the past. Most Americans today are very quick to surrender freedom for that perceived ounce of security a government can offer or least pretends to offer (look at post 9-11 with the Patriot Act and TSA etc.).

Yes, and there are numerous examples throughout history: most European Jews going meekly to slaughter for one; literally billions living meekly under tyrannical totalitarian governments for another. On an individual basis the vast majority of people are not leaders and just try to live their lives as best they can. On a group basis, if a genuine leader arises, individuals will follow.

I, as an individual, have zero power, but as a true believer in the cause President Trump has been leading, I will exercise whatever options are open to me to support the cause. That's what we all must do to succeed even if Biden is installed as president.
