Then they wouldn't need to. If that many diverse people ever even

really don't believe in the power of voting, then all those people would
be a huge, potent, coherent economic force, and could STILL scrap and
replace the government without ever firing a shot.

Kirk..you missed the point. What if the government goes feral and
simply refuses you the right to vote?

All it would take would be a declaration of Martial Law. No elections
is one of the first steps. Suppression of dessent. Installation of
puppet leaders..IE Zone Administrators. Suspension of Habeus Corpus
and so forth. "For the duration of the emergency"

History is full of examples. Im sure you dont have to look far to find
them.

Just look at Herr shrubbie & the neocons ... right, gummer?
