Defend constitution against all enemies

Heard a Fascist Republican Trump supporter say he had sworn an oath when he joined the military to "Defend the constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic." and he would not accept a Trump defeat. And he would take action. I wondered what he meant by defending the constitution and if he was offended as I am on the attacks on the principles of our Constitution by Trump Republicans in

Eliminating the free press
Merging religion and government
Suppressing free speech
Violating the emoluments clause
Failing to promote the general welfare
Destroying the constitutional principles of checks and balances
Not obeying the rule of law
Denying equal protection under the law
Preventing Americans from voting
And . . .

If he is not offended and does not feel compelled to take any action to defend the Constitution because of this, what is he offended by that would cause him to feel that he would defend the Constitution by overthrowing the Constitutional government of the United States of America?

1. Stupidity, tribalism, hate of the other and total ignorance of what the constitution actually says

are some of the reasons. White nationalists, KKK, Nazis, criminals and haters all have a stake in nothing but hate and no grounding in law or morals at all and these groups are being promoted by the oligarchs to overturn our way of life and take everything from us.

2. Don't expect logical thought from Trump supporters

The cognitive dissonance is too severe. You'll hurt your brain if you try.

ETA: When Trump loses the election, as I fervently hope he will, your Republican Fascist Trump supporter won't do anything but bitch and moan. I would ask them, "Against whom are you going to take action? The U.S. Government? How would that work?" There is no answer to that question.
