Same as it always is: Right wing worldview is simply "in-groups to protect, out-groups to bind." Or, "What is good for me and my group right now?" Hypocrisy doesn't matter, because they don't care. Having a consistent worldview is irrelevant to "what is good for me and my group right now?"
Because cruelty is the point.
I think a riot or two is needed. Peaceful protests are all well and good, but are they actually achieving anything tangible.
I feel sorry for the military people having to bow and organise all of this, and the people taking part of course. It would be great if they just turned it into a coup and got rid of Agent Orange.
Edit....corrected the spelling of "coup".

Given that every single member of the military is oathbound to engage the domestic enemy to the constitution Donald Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the US, I don't think that would actually count as a coup. The kicker being the legality of their engagement.
...also not sure on this bit, but does coup vs not also hinge on their intent to claim the president's power after they hit him with him with an airstrike or six? They could just knock him out of the equation, then sit back and let the rest of the government get its shit together and govern benevolently.
There is the Adama approach. Military rule rule until a viable president can be found. But, historically, once the military seizes control they don't easily relinquish it. However, at least techno-feudalism won't happen.

You mean SpaceX has received grants from the government for years for key infrastructure while the political ideas of its management were not aligned with the military industrial complex?
How nice to see Adama mentioned!
Well I would hope for the latter version really. But I mean, America is a big military oriented nation anyway, so I'm not too sure much would change even if they stayed in power.
I would love to see the orange stain be incarcerated, preferably at GBay or that nasty sounding Venezuelan prison. I'm sure he would be welcomed there. Eeeek.
And hey, if I sound somewhat unfamiliar with American politics or the way things go over there, it's because I'm in Australia. And totally bewildered how he got back in, and confused as to how he is able to do all the things. Madness.
But hey at least petrol is down to $1.98 right. Good God how can his cult continue to believe the litany of absolute lies. Unfathomable.
Good luck with it all. Peace and love from down under.
good luck with that
