Your stats are wrong. How are we going up against half the population if much less than half the population voted for Trump.. and now his favorability ratings are even lower than when he took office?
Nearly half the population didn't vote at all. It's not a small number that would still defend him. Maybe not half, but significant enough. Then you have to wonder, how many active duty personnel didn't vote for him and where would they stand when the orders were given. Would they commit treason in the eyes of the CIC?
His approval ratings don't mean a whole lot. We've seen how well polls have translated to real results in the last decade. I would also argue that disapproval does not translate to civil disobedience.
Okay, so to summarize: You're disregarding the numbers we do have to support your point.
