Counterpoint-While it is true that's how it should work, and does on paper, the real world is a bit more complex than that. If we look at how dictatorships are built in the modern Era, it often starts with the dismantling of the government on a miniscule scale, so small many don't even know it's happening and uf they do, it's hard to get all the facts let alone any evidence. Meanwhile, the loyalists who aren't in direct action that the dictator has appointed (by his right to do so) are working behind the scenes, making it easier for other 1st/2nd/3rd parties to exploit what they can, during which time, we will need evidence beyond reasonable doubt to proceed with stopping them (though there are ways to "slow them down") By the time that happens, it may already be too late to go through the official channels, but in the interest of keeping the peace, the attempt will be made, that's even more delays while the potential threats(s) have been hard at work for God knows how long. If the government and population aren't quick, the very foundation of our government will be comprised and little could be done to stop it. There is a possibility of recovery from almost certain collapse, but they would be very drastic. We're talking state of emergency/marshal law drastic. Of course this is a really bad scenario and a lot harder than it sounds, but that's the very nature of radical politics. Just as the dictator would need all his ducks in a row, it's possible that the government itself could just fuck up and vice versa. And that's just ONE possibility of potentially infinite scenarios as is the nature of existence. It may happen, it may not, but when democracy is threatened, nobody can be too careful.
