It won’t happen because I doubt most soldiers would go along. If they did they’d also lose by attrition fast. Spread out our army across the nation and they’d be a drop in the bucket, outnumbered 10,000 to 1. Something like Somalia.

And if they did large scale bombing? Well go ahead, bomb your tax base. Less dollars in, how will you pay for your army?

Let’s not forget Republican governors and their National Guards. Not to mention withholding tax payments.

America will splinter before it becomes a tyrannical dictatorship.

Twenty years ago, I'd have agreed with you. But I have seen the march toward globalism creep into school curriculums steadily across the nation. In my school district (the 4th largest in the nation) a number of UN inspired educational programs THRIVE as advanced placement courses. There are UN celebratory days wherein the middle schools get to dress up as they're favorite country (anything EXCEPT the USA) and the teacher's classroom doors are decorated with murals (again everything except USA). These are the schools that have done this exact same thing for thirty years. They have inculcated the brainwashing of globalism (UN glorification) at every level of school. Where do you think the majority of police officers and soldiers get their formative education? Public Schools, of course. The schools see kids more often and with more intensity than either parents or clergy. Don't think on some level that brainwashing won't take when they are faced with an order to shoot American citizens. The UCMJ offers some pretty horrible consequences on that subject. Yes it is a soldier's DUTY to disobey an illegal order, but durn few will be able to ennumerate which is which.
