Who are these "most people"?

The military would not have "stepped in" under its own accord. It may have been called in (probably in the form of the state national guards).

If so many former military officers are positioning themselves so well in industry to effect this coup, maybe they could also step in and restore a larger portion of US manufacturing and sidestep the issue of your last paragraph. It would certainly be easier than destroying a country.

> Who are these "most people"?

Judging from 4chan, twitter, gab, I think currently its the "stolen election" Trump supporters. But it might be a growing coalition of those that oppose "communism" as they see it. Progressive policies, reparations, and so on. The disgruntled right. Which is actually a lot of red states...most of geographic land area of the US.

Good luck to them, they're still not "most people" and can (mostly) be safely ignored.
