The issue is that the Trumps are well aware of this and are going to replace people in leadership positions with yes men (they have already started).
If the President orders something, the sec def agrees, your general agrees, your colonel, your captain, etc all agree then most peoplr are going to do it, even if you feel that, maybe, it isn't right.
Remember they won't say "kill all the Dems", it will be at the end of a long line of escalations, provocations and propaganda. Even then it will be "need to put all the terrorists in one place away from real Americans", and if they resist shoot them, etc.

You have to remember the ideas as they come out of Trumps mouth are as detailed as they are ever going to be, from there - they are further twisted and perveted by the MAGA lackeys.

Don’t underestimate the U.S. Military. Especially the enlisted ranks which outnumber the Officers Ranks.
