They have not had the need to have the tanks in the street because the deal is like this:
1. They corrupt the military, is not as difficult as many people think (Petreus, Flynn, Kelley, etc.)
2. The military starts enjoying the fruits of their support for the regime, all they need to do is casual shows of strength to keep the citizens at bay.
3. They get rid of the few real patriotic men/women in the military, remember how GW got rid of those people in the military who opposed him during the Iraq invasion?
4. The lower ranks are so brain-washed that all they do is follow orders, by this time the country's economy is in shambles, people are straggling to get food because one of the things dictators do is maintain a food shortage to make sure people think on surviving and not opposing them.
5. By then the military has been corrupted to a level where actual Russian intelligence are accepted into the ranks and they start controlling everything, they even have a hold on intelligence and other institutions that can no longer protect the country.
6. People are making lines in front of the supermarket to buy whatever they can.
7. Those who oppose the regime are either killed or put in jail for torture because as we know, dictators love torture.
8. Lots of blood running everywhere, many of the citizens are getting together to try to fight the regime, but as it usually happens, they started late thinking "It can't Happen Here", and now it is an uphill struggle to get rid of the swamp which has grabbed every department in government, and every institution.
9. Those who helped the regime are now sorry, because many of them have been disposed of their businesses, they have been put in jail because the government can make up accusations and because the entire supreme court is there just for show because they will rule as they are told to do, nothing the enablers can do now.
10. Political opponents are all in jail, many executed.
etc., etc.
It may sound like fiction what I wrote above, but that is exactly what has happened in countries like Venezuela, Russia, and many more...This is no fiction, what happened in Wisconsin must be reversed, if not the implications will be tremendous, once they know they can do it, it will just be a chain reaction and suddenly you will find state after state being nulled out from the power of the oppressors. That is where republicans want to go, make no mistake about it.
The military is very corruptible, thw fact they have fought and "defended" the country doesn't mean they are real patriots, many of them are, but those in power are very corruptable, to believe otherwise is to open the doors for them...think Flynn, Kelley, Petreus...The case of Petreus is the best to use as an example, a vagina corrupted him, although I think he was corrupt before that, but that is how weak these people are.
