14. they might try but be surprised by the response. Remember the coup in Russia?

When the hardliners tried to oust Gorbachev? When people filled the streets to protest, the hardliners called out the military, but they refused to fire on their own people and instead joined them.

Bush has lost so much love with the military, intelligence agencies, and the American people, that there probably wouldn't even be a revolution. He'd just look out the window and decide to get on a plane to his compound in South America.
