I think it could easily happen via a coup in Washington and I think it might be something we might face whenever Trump leaves office, be it by impeachment, resignation, or him serving out his Presidency until 2020 or 2024.
When it happens, I am worried about severe oppression for anyone who doesn't conform or is perceived as an enemy of the state. This will include atheists, scientists, liberal historians, the LGBT community, Muslims, etc. Society will likely be a cross between "A Handmaids Tale" and "V for Vendetta." I can easily see the Southern Baptist Convention being absorbed by the new government and becoming the state church. Media and the Internet will be heavily controlled and censored by the state.
Why could this happen? A large percentage of Americans have lost faith in our system of government and believe the only option is to burn the entire thing down and start over. They realize there is no rolling back Roe v Wade, marriage equality, or forcing cultural Christianity and traditional values on everyone within the confines of our current system of government. They will need a new, right-wing authoritarian government to accomplish their goals. Whether Trump serves out his Presidency or not, it's very likely that a Democrat will be elected in 2020 or 2024 and when that happens, I don't think the far right will be able to accept it. We are already seeing more and more calls for revolution from the far right. We are headed to a very dire place in this country.
I am beginning to wonder if progressives need to start thinking about getting or renewing their passports so we can escape once the coup happens.
Maybe the Baptists were right when they were preaching that gay marriage would be the end of our country. It's simply happening in a different way than they expected.
I've been hoping for this to happen since Johnson got elected and it never will. The country is split down the middle and thats the way it's supposed to be.
That was a done deal by 1913 my friend...The Chosen Families have been in legal control (although they were in effective control since our inception) all along. And no party, representative, or "government", can change that, until the entire world's monetary system is abandoned....
I don't know where any of the hysteria the OP mentioned is coming from in the current administration. Besides all the BS you see on the news these days.
Like I said earlier, if Trump and his administration are authoritarian in any way, they sure are doing a crappy job of it.

Feb 17, 2017 - There are even allegations that former President Barack Obama ... being around political campaigns” would seem validated by a press corps that ... Rogue intel officers and Deep State warriors would be natural allies for the Obama holdovers. .... Arrest Obama and charge him with treason and conspiracy.
