Why would he do this? The republicans fucked him over, what's the motivation behind this? Simply to win Georgia?
Also how will the dems react?

The likelihood of a massive right wing movement also has to do with it being America. Movements don't happen here. Americans don't do anything. We're docile media consumers who engage in spectacle and posting wars. The largest grassroots movement in the country right now is Qanon.
I interpreted "reactionary movement" as something closer to the Tea Party, but you're absolutely right about anything more direct. Even the anti-lockdown and Stop the Steal protests fizzled out pretty quickly.
It won't be a protest movement, but a protest party splintered from the establishment GOP.
I'm pretty sure at this point the venn diagram of Qanon voters and the Trump or die death cult is a single circle. It'll be them plus a vast populist coalition of weird antivaxxers, cosplaying libertarian tea party holdouts, and bicoastal banker bros and unemployed factory workers from Pennsylvania and Ohio, all united in their admiration of Andrew Jackson, supporting celebrity rapists in the name of anti-cancel culture, and the desire to do hate crimes against brown and Asian people in the name of protectionism while also marrying Chinese, Vietnamese and Cuban women from reactionary conservative families.
What a time to be alive.
