Scenes that at least some of the rioters were deliberately evoking Symbolically attacking the Capitol building is the ending of The Turner Diaries Running all the Black elected officials out of the state house is the ending of Birth of a Nation (based on the 1898 uprising)

I see. The Michigan plot seemed pretty heavily inspired by some work of imagination but I can't figure out what.
