After Hitler rose to power, did people who supported him regret it?

the Nazis enjoyed fairly broad public support until the Reich started losing the war,(of course they had thrown most serious political opposition in the camps, jail or exile by the start of WWII).

Damn
Not looking good for the U.S then
Maybe look deeper than a random comment on an anonymous message board. The Nazi's won the Reichstag with only 32% of the vote...and were largely supported by disaffected WW1 vets who were easy to quickly organize and deploy against the rest of Germany (who they blamed for sabotaging WW1). It's impossible to tell how genuine the support was throughout the 30's because they immediately implemented a police state and started stomping out all resistance. It stands to reason, though, that the fact that they had to deploy secret police, concentration camps, vast propaganda, etc. they did't have the latent support that outside appearances might have given. It's like looking at all of North Korea almost comically howling in the streets when Kim Jong Il died as evidence that they supported him and weren't just terrified that their family (or entire neighborhood) would be sent away to prison camp if they didn't make a large enough display of support.
No matter how big of an a$$hole Trump is, comparing him to the Nazi's is, frankly, disrespectful to the Nazi's ability to seize power in Germany. Trump is a fukking clown...the Nazi's weren't. They were evil and capable. Within the first year of Hitler's Chancellorship they had outlawed all political parties and imprisoned all significant political opponents....we're nowhere close to that thankfully. Hell, we're about to have an election. There were no more elections in Germany after 1932.

After MLK died did people who didn't support him claim to?

this is my biggest fear. 90 percent of that nevertrump shyt was only because trump lacked a decorum or strategy just a bunch of grifters grifting.
A non-stupid/competent Trump like Cruz or a cotton or the one-eyed seal could easily hold power and do only god knows what. There was a thread on twitter talking about how the republican ultimate goal is to have a sort of king-switch where they can bestow a republican president with unlimited power and then take it away once their terms are up. Kinda of like how John Yoo built the torture memos.

Precise and cold hearted
Hopefully there are elections after 2020.
Trump may be a clown but he has a cult that supports his clown ass like we haven't seen in a long fukking time. And a complicit Republican party that won't break with him for anything.
They are evil but maybe not capable.
Hitler had a whole army backing him of course. And was given powers he should of never been given.
after he rose to power? shyt even after the nazis fells german society had problems with neo-nazis. and that was just the politically active people.
im sure your average Nazi supporter from the early 30s thought the Nazis were completely in the right even after WWII. they just weren’t usually vocal about it.

To be fair America has a strong democratic tradition sharpened by the recent history of the civil rights struggle, The German Reich at that time in history under the Weimar Republic did not and was thus much more fragile and vulnerable to Extremist groups such as the Nazis who were much better organized than either the Social Democrats or Communists or non Nazi Conservatives who were the main opposition to them.
i think the most important lesson we can take from that time is what happened with the left in Germany. The Communists, Democratic Socialists, and more traditional Progressives all hated and distrusted eachother, which allowed the Nazi’s to pick them off one by one.
Anyone seriously concerned with the Trump regime should get over this Bernie-Bro’s vs Establishment Dems foolishness pronto.

Not the same situation...
For starters, Hitler never lost a popularity vote...The majority of this country hates Trump and he's a moron...
Trump only in office due to the retarded electoral college that does not accurately represent the country and only exists to appease former slave states...
I largely agree with this, but I’d just point out it was the non-Nazi conservative and centrist parties were that eventually helped the Nazis gain the power they did. As @Shogun pointed out above, the Nazi party even in their most successful election only gained 32% of the vote. However, in January 1933, Hitler was appointed chancellor thanks to Franz von Papen, a former chancellor from a centrist party, asking President Paul von Hindenburg to appoint him chancellor with the caveat that the Nazis have a minority of cabinet positions and von Papen be vice-chancellor. The thinking was the centrists and conservatives would be able to keep Hitler “boxed in”.
Instead, Hitler marginalized von Papen and his allies, the Reichstag fire happened and was blamed on communists, and Hitler pushed for the Enabling Act to be passed in March, with the conservative parties supporting it. From then on, Hitler had dictatorial powers and dissolved all other political parties.
Hitler might not have rose to power when he did without the scheming of conservatives in Germany thinking Hitler could be controlled.
Heard of the Nurenberg trials?
