I'm not sure. I think that the only thing that keeps him from doing that sort of thing is the remnant of halfway decent government/military officials that refuse to allow it. He's got zero problem equating anyone who opposes him with terrortists/enemies of the state. It's not a big leap to justify killing those kinds of people, particularly to his base.
I don't think he cares if he kills 12 or even 100 million people as long as it doesn't hurt his social media following/likes. Even if he's not able to murder people on a whim personally, he's established that he's a true sociopath. He cares for nothing other that himself and his self-image.
I can envision a situation where he and his base put political opponents in "camps" fairly easily, and I can absolutely see him being more than willing to galvanize his base to kill liberals. There are many who are dumb enough and willing. In fact, I think it's probably going to happen one way or the other.
