There is no doubt about this and it's quite expect able that hardcore Trump supporters will call for riots and violence and they have done it in the past on numerous occasions. At one point they did storm the Capitol proving these threats can materialise. From the comments made online some of his supporters called for attacks on jurors, the execution of the judge or outright civil war and armed insurrection.
Way to many of us have wholeheartedly trusted media sources for far to long. This has been well known to many on the left for decades and decades. Large numbers of books by authors displaying a liberal persuasion have been written on the not only the openness to bias by media but the very nature of most of it being a for profit business which presses the moral obligations it promises in order to bring returns to the owners and shareholders. This is old news to many on the left.
It also is old news to many on the right. Sadly though both liberals and conservatives use media in way less than an honest way. All of that should be a ''given'' to anyone who wishes to honestly seek our way out of the problems we face today. The days of''yabut'' should be over but they appear to be stronger than ever.
As for this news you have brought to this forum, I can't care less about who published it or how many Trumpers think this way. The point is that Trump himself is constantly pushing and pushing for activists to ''up their game'' because we are at war. So yes, here are examples of individuals who are speaking up and out about possible actions to ''save'' our nation. But individuals often times ''group up'' and those individuals become groups calling for violent or extreme actions. By now, we all should know that where individuals think in these terms it often goes nowhere, but when groups think like this, we all should know about ''group think'' and mob mentality, how the force of a crowd influences even the best minded individuals surrounded by that group.
Trump is pleading with individuals, but he is also exhorting groups, encouraging individuals to work as groups, some of which already exist. He is tossing tinder on a smoldering fire.
