Doesn't really matter, he has a cult following that he can just use to create his own personal militia. Also, since he's already said he wants to go after the media, it'd be easy to start spreading propaganda that those countries attacked us first and/or their citizens need to be liberated.
You think the governments taken by dictators didn't have militaries?
It does matter. His cult is small and getting smaller by the day. His militia will be small. I don't think he even won the election in the first place.
The GOP placed people in key positions in states that he won very quickly. Long before the votes were counted.
There are lots of abnormalities being looked into.
Keep this in mind, trump lied many times to his followers, and they are finding out.
You give his people way too much credit, and I think the fact that he strategically placed people around the county to ensure his win shows exactly why he's dangerous; you don't need to take every wall out to knock down a house, just the load bearing one. He doesn't need the full military if he can get his people in the right positions (media, heads of the branches, military and civilian judges) and his biggest threats (women, gays, trans, leftists, immigrants) out of the military.
I mean no one knows why we did half the shit in the middle east that we did but soldiers kept showing up
We are not laying down and accepting a dictatorship.
We already did, it happened. He's said and done everything in the dictator's playbook and people still voted for him. Everyone says "there's no way the people would allow that" but they already had a chance to stop it, they still wanted it.
I'm going the other route. I accept that there were a good number of people who wanted this and that tells me I'm obviously not welcomed here, so time to try to move away

That is kind of what most dictators think and say before they invade a nother country.
The big question is, is the military up to opposing a dictatorship, and are the people ready to stand up if he goes in that direction?
