14. A few will act out. But the majority won't.

The majority of MAGAT/White Nationalist types will not travel to cause trouble unless it's to an organized event where they feel they have strength in numbers. See the amount that would show up "to fight Antifa" or "Support the Right", but as soon as they start facing opposition, they break down and run.
Most Q or MAGA are frankly lazy middle class. They're basically comfortable and at a certain level, know that if they can't just bully an opponent to leave or quit, they risk getting hurt or arrested and that's just too much. They depend on 'lone wolf heros' to fight for their idiotology and to root for. Asking them to stand and fight if they're not already part of a mob is not gonna happen.

The ones post election that I am most concerned are police or sheriffs twisting the law and their 'jobs' to target those they consider liberal or Democratic enemies. The swaggering Big Fish in Small Ponds type. And, of course, the few 'troubled' young men with no future to begin with who are willing to listen to poison just to make some sort of name for themselves.
