If that comes to pass
You mean when it comes to pass… and that "when" is now. The "tyranny where the left gets everything it wants as long as they scream loud enough" is what we are currently getting.

The field grade officers in the military are still conservative.
Yes, but they still follow lawful orders from leftist superiors, don't they? I've been reassured by veterans that, while it might be different in other countries, the men of the US military are a higher breed of soldier, who will never put their personal political sympathies ahead of obedience to the chain of command (particularly their immediate superiors), never mutiny, never refuse an order unless they're certain it's unlawful (which makes sense; after all, if you do refuse, and the following court martial decides the order was lawful? Say hello to Leavenworth), will never violate their oath to uphold the Constitution… as defined by SCOTUS and their superiors, will never carry out a coup, will never…
You get the idea.

It's not like there are two Pentagons, one for each side.
Hegseth sends his loyal men try to arrest/shoot the Obama Generals and their men; while, at the same time, the Obama Generals send their loyal men try to arrest Hegseth and his men, while both happen to be at different places — one side visiting the White House, the other at the Pentagon. Or, say, Hegseth's out at Cheyenne mountain when they try.
So picture this: you've got the Obama generals holed up in the Pentagon, issuing orders to the US military to uphold their oath and defend the Constitution from the domestic enemy, the rogue Hegseth and his lackeys who are illegally occupying NORAD; and you've got Hegseth holed up in Cheyenne Mountain, issuing orders to the US military to uphold their oath and defend the Constitution from the domestic enemy, the traitorous generals illegally occupying the Pentagon.
As for the rest of the military, the rank-and-file?
Oh, they're perfectly unified and in 100% agreement that it's their sworn duty to take action and protect the Legitimate Government from the Domestic Enemy…
…but they disagree quite strongly as to which is which.
What happens then?

Reported for being antagonistic and uncharitable — not that it matters, since, as a mod, Amadan is Above The Rules.

Seriously, who is the boogeyman for right wingers right now?
Depends on which set of "right wingers" you're talking about. But in the context of my more "normal Republican voter" acquaintances, with respect to Democratic Party politicians, I'd say Gavin Newsom.
When did Greg Abbott issue orders to soldiers of the regular US Military, and have those uniformed soldiers obey him in open defiance of contravening orders from their superior officers?
