Trump has repeatedly suggested that he will use the military on the "enemy from within". Protests could end up looking like what we see in Belarus and Russia - masked "police" shows up and they beat them up and / or take them away.

They didn't use the term scared, and being scared is not implicitly "going into hiding".

It's because I'm scared that I'm going to protest on April 5 in my state capital.

context clues suggest to me that the commenter is worried about militarized violence against protestors (scared)
