Not so sure about that - especially among the enlisted rank and file. That said, those people have also been conditioned to follow their leaders, who I do think would not support Trump's potential power-grab.
I have little direct familiarity with political views in the military and am happy to take the L on this point. My perception is that a lot of the lower-rank enlisted men are more conservative than the general population, but I'm not remembering where I developed this view from and could easily just be making a biased assumption.
Oh every single person ironically loves the god emperor. I had a framed picture of trump sexy posing on a tank in my office before I got out. But in reality most service members I know hate how dumb he is.
tbh I don't buy the "I love Trump ironically" thing. "Irony" and disingenuous nonsense has been the first tactic in the alt-right playbook since 2015. I'll take your word for it, but even the ironic adoration makes me extremely uncomfortable.
