Very doubtful. Military would defect en masse and you would get a civil war where government gets the boot in the end rather sooner than later.

It's not defection to refuse to carry out unlawful orders, soldiers can be punished for carrying out orders that they knew were unlawful, or orders which are so obviously unlawful that the soldier should have known. The united states does not have an SS.

>The US government could, if it wanted to, slaughter the entire civilian population of the US right now and no one could stop them. I don’t believe for a second that China would be so restrained if it suddenly had that power over the USA.
What the fuck are you talking about???

Just to spell it out, you are suggesting that if "China" could, would conduct a mass scale genocide against Americans ?
And you base that where exactly ?
The US government could, if it wanted to, slaughter the entire civilian population of the US right now and no one could stop them. I don’t believe for a second that China would be so restrained if it suddenly had that power over the USA. So, while it’s true that having the power that it does makes the US government a potential threat, it is nowhere near as much of an actual threat as China.
