There are many reasons I think dictatorship will fail here. One big one is that this is a huge country with so many cities.
How many big cities can the National Guard occupy before they start to stretch apart and defect?
My guess is 5, max.
We shall see, but I bet they’re already in too deep.
I think the biggest difference between America and every country that has fallen to dictatorship is kings.
In every country that has become a dictatorship in modern history, the adult population grew up in a monarchy. Having a dictator was almost a return to normalcy.
Also every citizen has a camera in their pocket and the ability to instantly share video evidence of what’s happening. Even when there’s attempts to suppress it, enough gets through that the truth comes out. Even in China this is happening.
