It hasn't happened yet, so it won't happen? Lalalalalala....I'm not listening!
Blind faith in the institutions of the US is the quickest road to bad places that I can think of. The only reason we haven't become a dictatorship over the years is because there were people that did think the sky was falling and were willing to do something about it, not because the institutions are so perfect.

I'm no politician, but I think that, had I aspirations at fascist dictatorship, I'd try to keep it as subtle as possible until I had what I wanted. Better yet, if I could achieve it and still have the people only sort of halfway grumbling about the rights they used to have while they were playing their video games and watching DVDs, I'd be a damn successful fascist dictator...one to be admired and probably emulated.
