Yeah, pretty much. He may be our Commander-in-Chief, but our ultimate loyalty lies in the people and the Constitution, not the President. In the unlikely event that the President does try to take absolute power, I guarantee that a majority of the Armed Forces would oppose him. We're not sheep.Originally Posted by DarkLadyNyara
Besides, there are many political safeguards in place to prevent such a thing from happening. But you would know that, since you're an expert on American politics, right, Guevara?
Right now, the President has around a 37% approval rating. That's at least 63% of the population that would oppose him if he tried to take over.
America is in a completely different situation than Germany was under the Weimar Republic. The American people are much more educated and poltically aware than the German people back then, and we've been a Republic for over two hundred years. It would be fallacious to claim that the exact same thing will happen as it did in Germany.
Of course, nothing I can say will change your mind. So go on, have fun trying to undermine our great nation. You're not convincing anyone.
