I don't expect an organized uprising or coup; but, there are likely to be 'random acts of violence'

......after Dreadful Donald loses. Remember these?

Of course, if Trump makes more veiled threats and his followers act out, he could face sedition charges.

Don't know how many of his followers will stick around to support him after that.
There's always a few crazies, but the majority of the types he attracts have enough native cunning along with their nastiness to drop a loser once it becomes apparent he's got no real political power - or anything else they can profit from - behind his bluster. They'll still spout their hate speech, but they'll wait until someone who can hold his own against the majority of the rest of the country.
I used "his" because they're only going follow a WASPy-white "Manly Man" with enough personal real money (not borrowed money) and real political mover-and-shaker backing. Which pretty much narrows the list of guys that would really be able to lead their movement to movie and comic-book characters.
