There are rules, there's a system. But if everyone says "#### the rules, #### the system", that doesn't matter much, and that's how you pull off a coup.

I don't want to sound like a hysteric but as someone with a reasonable understanding of western history for the last 200 years this is so obviously the path towards authoritarian control. It's the playbook the US used in Latin America, what the soviets used in occupied eastern europe, Franco in Spain, the Nazis in Germany...
