They're genuinely scared they will end up on some list, and Trump or others will take their revenge. Because it's been done so much on the left, the return volley is now scary to them.
Since they truly believe Trump is Hitler, they're expecting camps. So, they are deliberately keeping their mouths shut until "freedom reigns".

Does an emerging religion usually require the backing of moneyed interests in order to spread and accrue influence or does it accumulate financial investors as a result of its newfound influence and widespread adoption?
Absolute zealots and monied interests. The zealots to die for the cause, and the money men to send them.
All religions do require that in order to spread, and you can see it in the history of every religion, including Islam and Christianity. Or, even small sects within them.
Leftism explicitly spreads through the upper-class as a luxury belief system that exists to replace the ruling elites with Leftists. It was never the Tumblrites that would get to the elites. It was the people who told them this shit was real. It was never organic. The Tumblrites were foot-soldiers.
