A well-regulated militia could very well include military. And it's hard to imagine the military following the president when the people do not agree

So far it seems at least half of the people do agree, though.

And the US military doesn't answer to the people at least not directly. I don't think it should be swayed by public opinion like that. I mean, we're talking about a military coup here. I despise Donald Trump and would like nothing more than to see him drummed out of office, but the military making that happen means we don't have a democracy anymore.
