seditionist
Inciter of rebellion
A seditionist is someone who incites or engages in sedition—actions or speech intended to stir up rebellion against the authority of a state or government.
The term implies active efforts to undermine established order, short of outright treason: The government arrested the seditionists before they could organize further.
Often used by those in power to characterize political opponents as dangerous.
