The tifosi have suffered through many a hard time before.
Also, Renault has significantly upped their game. The R25 finally has the power to match up the superb handling and drag launches, and Alonso and Fisi are top notch drivers. Maybe MS and RB are finally at an end to their reign?
Yes Ferrari struggled in the 80s/90s, one cause of that was the declining health and untimely death of Enzo Ferrari. When Todt, Brawn and Schumacher joined they took over control of not only the F1 program but also the road car program. The new rules are designed to mess with Ferrari, Bernie doesn't want the other teams to catch up he just wants to slow Ferrari down. Toyota has the largest budget and they SUCK. Everyone knows the Bridgestones are not endurance tires and take 2 laps or so to come up to temperature. Bridgestone's main target is Ferrari, they pay Ferrari to supply them with tires. Don't you find it funny that Bernie would decide to go with one lap qualifiers and no tire changes knowing that it would put Bridgestone at a huge disadvantage and in turn making Ferrari struggle.
If you want to beat Ferrari then beat them at their own game. Use determination and hard work, don't stoop to that low of a level and use new rules that are designed to favor some teams. Maybe Ferrari and MS' domination is bad, but they worked for it and they deserve it. If I wanted crap I'd watch NASCAR, I always thought F1 was the gentleman's game with high end technology and now its a mediocre show of stupidity.
