He was directly stoking them in his speech last night. The next 2-4 years is going to lead to a lot of craziness as Trump grasps on to anything he can to stay relevant.
While I think you are right in terms of stepping up their 'we need a revolution' game, I think many Trump voters were not exactly normal voters before and would be likely to give up one he's done. That's the problem building a movement around a single person.

While it may be a rough road trying to quell the insurrection activity, I do think we could see a pretty quick turnaround in election outcomes as republican votes dry up.

Who knows, you may be right. Just trying to be optimistic!
