Despite what they individually claim, I don't completely trust the military as a whole to do what's right.

Spent ten years in the Army, two tours. Medic. Have a CMB and CAB. Now I'm out on 90%. That's strictly to weed out the people it needs to.

Now, there are several posts popping up around asking military members how they feel about a potential coup/insurrection/hostile takeover whatever. I'm happy to see that the gross majority of responses are AGAINST the current administration. Good job, sometimes the kids are alright.

HOWEVER....

We've begun to see dismantling from the top of the structure, replacement in leadership position, lawyers being pushed out. Our support for Ukraine has eroded, and we are sidling up with Russia. We have members of military actively assisting with deportation and statistically the majority of them vote Red.

So if the order came down for the military to perform actions against its own population, where would the resistance start? Where's our friction point?

If the lawyers are gone, and the law isn't on your side, and your military commanders are agreeing with him, where's the break point? Brigade level? Company? Individual? Is it going to be a loud enough and solidly fought stance, or will the reaction happen too late and simply be steamrolled?

Unfortunately, I feel like we are the frog in the pot and we are a few degrees from boiling and refusing to acknowledge it.

I understand this is a what-if and a stretch of a scenario in some regards. But then again, I didn't expect the country to reach this point.
