I honestly fear that our military will do something like this.
Your fear is overblown. The US Military would get chewed up and spit out by Armed American Civilians. We outnumber them by at least 50 to 1 and there would be nowhere for them to retreat too in between engagements. Their logistics would be entirely cutoff and they wouldn’t even be able to go home because their neighbors (at least some of them) would be waiting.
They could try but realistically it would be over (in most places) in like two weeks.
What is Bubba going to do with his Ford and his AR when a fuckin’ tank rolls down the middle of 23rd Avenue? How about when a drone hits his buddy with three fingers and all the pipe bombs?
Unless your local rednecks are packing some serious fucking heat- talking anti-tank, anti-air- you will 100% get Ruby Ridged. Maybe you take out a couple 19 year old kids? But to think that “armed American civilians” would be able to do anything besides piss themselves and bleed in the face of the most powerful military in the world is utterly delusional.

Where is the fuel coming from to keep that tank rolling and how is it getting there?

Where does that drone operator live? Where are the parts for that drone coming from, how are they getting there, and who is assembling them?
The US Military runs on logistics and those logistics chains are entirely dependent on civilians playing along. This is why true Civil Wars are Nation Breakers.
The best a broad civilian uprising could hope for in the US would be a drawn-out guerilla grinder like Vietnam or Afghanistan. Anybody who thinks it would be a one-way wipe (in either direction) is an idiot.
Not to mention that a dictatorship would be more than glad to support counter-revolutionaries, which would outnumber the left-leaning revolution by… A lot.

You forget who those Armed American Civilians virtually ALL voted for.
Don’t believe the hype, there’s plenty of Armed American Civilians who didn’t vote for that guy. They are not the real majority they are just noisy.
I’ll believe that when I see it. But the only way to see it is for shit to go south in the first place.

And that, kids, is how we installed a lasting, stable, friendly, democratic government in Afghanistan!
