Why would you fear the Military? Most of them are Enlisted, and most Enlisted are Republican and almost all of Trumps supporters were once Republicans. Beside, most Mil won't start shooting civilians in their own country and even if they would gun owners before all the BLM shit outnumbered LEO and Mill by like 11 to 1. If even a quarter took up arms against the government they'd be up shit creek with hands for paddles.
As prior military, I have to say I more than somewhat agree. If in their place, there'se zero point zero percent chance I'd fire on Trump supporters. I'd even have have a bit of trigger hesitation for the other side. By the way, knowing how ratfucked the Guard is, there is also a damn good chance they don't trust them with weapons there (or can't be bothered to draw them from the armory because they are more afraid of LOSING a weapon) BUT if they do cary rifles... I'm willing to bet your life that they will have empty mags stuffed in them. How do I know such things? Only by being around retarded command structures long enough to know how CYA COs think. They are just gonna be mannequins in camo that want so desperately to just go home and play X-Box and bang chicks from Tinder. Without air support they are almost as useless as they are in theater overseas.
I think lower enlisted are more likely to be unknowingly leftist. They are products of the shit education system, they are young and used to not having freedoms in the military and having healthcare dictated, vaccines mandatory, and housing provided. NCOs and Officers at o6 and below are mostly conservative and libertarian.
There's been studies done. College educated officers are depending on branch and unit (Marine vs Army or Air Force, supply vs infantry as an example) between 55 and 70% more likely to be Democrat voters. Enlisted across all branches are 80% Republican voters, Independant was a hilarious triviality in voter registration or leaning for both.
I can mostly believe that. I will admit my experience is almost entirely with junior officers who know better than to spout off if they think that way, and officers who are prior enlisted.
Afghanistan proved we still lean heavy on ground game and there's no way even Biden would be dense enough to Drone strike US cities. And comms don't mean shit when the power goes out because Bubba Maga decides to bomb a Transformer switching station and even if it did there's a lot of people who have got into radios because of cheap Baofeng shit and encryption because of technology in general but most militias don't do comms at all, they're cells that communicate directly because of Government ears.
An honest resistance movement in the US would play the Military for a fool. Most citizens who would rise up spent some amount of time in the past 20 years working for the Mil fighting and learning from 3rd world insurgents. We could give them a run for their money.
We don't have to and have never feared the GOP.
Now..... the Military on the other hand....

there hands might as well have no skin too in such a scenario

You are thinking our military still relies on a ground game. Even so, they have the communication and coordination we just don’t have.
Afghanistan proved we still lean heavy on ground game and there's no way even Biden would be dense enough to Drone strike US cities. And comms don't mean shit when the power goes out because Bubba Maga decides to bomb a Transformer switching station and even if it did there's a lot of people who have got into radios because of cheap Baofeng shit and encryption because of technology in general but most militias don't do comms at all, they're cells that communicate directly because of Government ears.
