To put into perspective: South Korea declared Martial Law during the end of 2024 which was short lived as their citizens were awake, not asleep (since a similar thing occurred in 1980 that lasted until 1987) it only ceased when a new president was elected, so they know what their parents have been through back then not letting it slide in modern times which was met with stiff resistance & protest from Gen Z Koreans.
Their president was impeached right after he enacted it as he’s abusing his power via blocking legislators by using both law enforcement and the military averting them from entering their national assembly, including him ordering the arrest of both the judges and supreme court justices whilst illegally declaring martial law (all in which violate their constitution). People there protested against martial law.
From what I’ve seen so far, the people of the US would go along with it.
They haven’t marched on the White House en masse to remove him after Trump was revealed to be a rapist, then a child rapist. Nor when his gestapo were murdering people in the street. Nor when children were being teargassed, or trafficked by them. Nor as people are wasting away (and sometimes dying/being murdered) in his gulags, citizen or not. Nor when he openly flaunts his corruption. Nor when he comes within a gnat’s whisker of starting WWIII!
It won’t just be MAGAts that aren’t trusted when Trump finally dies, it’ll be the US as a whole, given what’s been accepted by the population in general, MAGat, or not. The line in the sand is constantly redrawn. People referring to the protections offered by the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights after Trump is gone - as if they’re in some way superior to other countries - will be looked at derisively, because nothing was done to protect people’s rights, nothing was done to apply penalties for those in power breaking the law.
Hundreds of millions of people tweeted, marched, and wrung their hands while the worst leader in the free world fucked you all in the ear and took your money. And that was pretty much it.
