I think it's more likely a test for the remaining, formerly Republican but essentially democracy-minded constitution worshipping government employees, military personnel etc. to see who speaks up (or at all) about it. For example if a mid level general starts making noise in a channel that Trump's minions have access to, saying they don't like what's going on and someone should do something and if they don't maybe I will- boom, loyalty tested. Similar with media talking heads etc. it's easy to assume these people are stupid or careless - they often act that way, and in some ways fundamentally are. But I doubt this was anything other than deliberate bait. You have to ask yourself, for whom? Why? Why now?

Moreover, a violent revolution was never achieved without the attendant political and logistical organization. So regardless of eventual character, the method of building a movement remains the same. Unfortunately it's boring, difficult work that leaves the most active most vulnerable to reprisals. Which is why people like Fred Hampton and Harvey Milk and Berta Cáceres are all so important and also ended up with their brains splattered on their beds/office floors etc.
