Currently? No. They're funded by some of the richest individuals in the world, have a large network of connections and have been consolidating power in key areas in local, state and federal government.
However they are a very loud subset of Americans. It doesn't set them up well for a true revolution because in a scenario where they have to bring in the military, the odds are that we'll see a military coup before they start shooting.
There's been a growing problem of Christian Nationalism within the military but the problem is that they typically prove to be poor soldiers. The US military still relies on the 'classical' understanding of US democracy in order to exert soft power across the world and if a president sought to consolidate power and completely control the government there'd be problems. But the far-right increasingly believes in a reckoning/uprising that would be in their favor.
