Summary
There was another group anti-government extremists who viewed President Trump's December 19th, tweet as a call to arms. The Three Percenters believe that three percent of American colonists successfully overthrew the British during the American Revolution. As with the Oath Keepers, many Three Percenters have turned against the U.S. Government, such that they equate it with the British monarchy and believe it should be overthrown. The Three Percenters were among the groups who used Zello (a walkie talkie app) to share intelligence.
