Some QAnon conspiracy theorists had long held January 6 as the coming of a dramatic and violent event they called "The Storm."
As Trump supporters excitedly discussed a coming protest on social media, some planned for violence against those they perceived as the president's enemies.
They saw Trump's support for a mass protest against the certification of Joe Biden's election victory as a sign The Storm was close.
Trump has courted the support of the far-right movement as he spread conspiracy theories about the election.
