I think it depends a lot on who wins the election.
I believe there might not actually be a winner. The race could be so close both sides will dispute it, and turn to violence because they feel the election was stolen from them.
We see signs of this now -- younger voters are turning away from Biden because of Palestine, and Trump is leading in several key swing states but only by an ass-hair.
So I cast doubt on the people who think this'll be one-sided against Trump supporters. Also they themselves have tanks, it's legal to own them. But people conveniently forget that.
Thus the 'whoever controls the military' qualification. I like to think that the folks charged with defending the nation would hold for the established order, but it's also a collective of individuals that could go warlord and throw in with a new revolutionary force.
