Not just that, they believe the people who oppose what they are doing would do violence to them.

They believe Trump's declarations that those opposed to his criminal regime are terrorists. Of course, it is all projection of their own bloodlust

It wouldn't surprise me that 80% fear being publicly identified. They would happily do violence to fellow Americans they despise. They assume those they despise would do violence to them.
