    I guarantee that a majority of the Armed Forces would oppose him. We're not sheep.
    Hopefully

    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?
    So what? Bush is already immuned to such safeguards since the majority of the senate are Republican. He has already broken the constitution with the patriot act and numberous other Authoritarian law's what would prevent him from breaking that part of the constitution?

    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.
    What will those people do? Nothing... like they've always done. If they couldent get off their butt's to vote him off. What will make you think they'll try to overthrow him? And by that time they'd be too scared to do anything.

    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,
    To say you guys are more "poltically aware" and more educated would be like calling the Victims of dictatorship stupid. If you guys were so poltically aware then idiots like Bush wouldent be in office.

    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.
    Who cares how long you've been a Republic, it doesnt change the subject or anything about it.
