Both kinds of mobs.

The mob of idiots who go along, get brainwashed, or get caught up in the cause

And the mob as in mafia as in they're connected, part of that GOPQ family and support them and wouldn't cross them.

But I agree they are full of self loathing, and they project that hate onto others not like them.
