They just had a government get overthrown in Thailand. It is the only way it could happen here as well. The military has more power than the politicians. The military could 'kick out' the current government and hold emergency elections in a few months. I guess that is why they ask everyone working for the government if they have ever tried to overthrow or plan to overthrow the government.
Massive amounts of people could be a problem for the military to keep in line (we are talking 100+ million here). But, as our country get divided more and more, and liberals move to the same cities and states, conservatives to their states, conflict between states doesn't seem quite so far-fetched.
