Trump supporters hesitant to join potential protests despite calls from former president.

Despite former President Trump's call for protests against his possible criminal indictment, many of his most fervent supporters are staying home due to rumors and fear of a repeat of the Capitol riot. Some believe the riot was instigated by federal agents or left-wing activists, leading to wild speculation and suggestions about "deep state" plots. Law enforcement is preparing for potential unrest, but there are indications that talk of violence against Trump's opponents is rising. Trump has not been specific about a focal point or timing of any potential protest.
