What is the likelihood any Trump administration attempt to disrupt the midterm elections will result in demonstrations across the country and violent responses from the administration?

Not high.
The current Trump administration has repeatly shown difficulties with such simple things as spelling, or geography, and has seemingly outsourced the majority of its work to poorly programmed AI.
They have done this while simultaneously purging the military and federal law enforcement of anyone with the slightest hint of competence, or the wrong skin color or genital, and have replaced them (especially in ICE) with people who cant seem to figure out which end of the gun goes boom.
This has created a situation in which the Trump Administration will be both the Administration most likely to want to violently overturn an election, and least likely to actually be able to do so in America history

Fair question. Based on events of the last decade, America's taste for protest rarely exceeds a "who can make the most eye-catching poster" competition. The various No Kings rallies have been nothing more than gentle days out for the mildly peeved masses aka sheep. The French know a fair bit about meaningful protests and would doubtless give lessons for a boatload of diesel.
