Will they come after my small business next?

I’m familiar with the phenomenon of the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire,” but I’ve never heard of anyone seeing themselves as a temporarily embarrassed oligarch before.

No, they won’t come after your small business.

That's not how I understood it. I think OP's first paragraph is better read with some quote marks:

> I often see many people show immediate solidarity with Amazon as soon as the ideas of anti-trust or monopoly are brought up. "If the government is allowed to break up a large corporation then where does it stop? Will they come after my small business next?"

You mean the same nanny state that comes after people who braid hair? Yes, the government will in fact come after small businesses.
