More like George (a dictatorship would be a lot easier) Bush and a majority of Repubs in both houses and a stacked Supreme Court change it so that he can rule indefinately and with dictator like powers. And so the Republicans start making major changes where there is no minimum wage, no financial regulations, no welfare, Social Security, or food stamps as well as anything else they can think of to make them and their pals even more wealthy at the expense of the environment and middle class and below.
After a while the fundies break away because they don't like that the government isn't pushing abortion banning and traditional marriage ammendments and forced school prayers etc, and so they form their own party. Then pressure mounts to end the dictorship and hold elections. And during the elections it becomes clear that one of these two parties is going to win, that more liberal social concience people and their quickly formed party don't stand a chance. So the majority of those vote for anyone-but-Bush resulting in a fundie win who have promised NOT to discriminate etc..
But upon winning, the fundie party immediately begin to make plans to rewrite the Constitution in order to create a theocracy where women are subjegated, abortions are banned,....basically Sharia law 'merican style. A Handsmaid Tale. So after a few months the American public finally can't take it anymore and takes to the streets by the millions to protest. Finally the military, being commited to the original Constitution, rises up and arrests the fundie leader in the name of the people and the Constitution with the stated plan of returnign to democratic rule once again soon.
At that point would I support that move?......yes!
But I could also change my mind or be critical of that military coup if the leaders, started getting heavy handed and "fifteen hundred tea partiers were gunned down at the mall in DC"
But at that point, like in Egypt, there is no easy solution. Its not the best of TWO evils, its the best of THREE evils. (And one fledgling democracy movement from a voiceless left) Like i said, they will have to figure it out for themselves eventually. But it is a fledgling democracy and it can get messy. I am hoping that those more liberal or at least moderate activists will use this time to garner support in order to win a coming election. And I am hoping that the military will voluntarily allow it to happen. What more can one have than hope? I'm not an Egyptian and I don't walk like one.
