"lOk, I am curious enough to play along.
Once there are 300+ million people living under Martial Law...Then what?
The idea would be to, very quickly, adapt a new Constitution, and what of the 300 million? Most would never even begin to understand what they have just lost, and would say, "Please get the soldiers off my street and let me get back to my texting in peace!
The new Constitution would be one which could be "interpreted liberally" and changed per any currant tyrant's whimsey! Basically all the changes that Liberal politicians have wanted for decades (but have been prevented from getting by our current systems of checks and balances) would be made possible by invoking a new form of government where in the checks or balances would work against Conservative agendas only. To be quite crass and blunt, if you'll allow me...And, I know....here we go again...The whole matter is an attempt to abolish....God....Guns...and Guts...from American culture.
Man, I bet I hate cliches as much as anybody, and is anything more tiring than to have someone invoke the three Gs again? But as long as God, Guns, and Guts rule the day, The tyrants, and dictators, form Milosevic to Hitler and all the way back to Vlad the freakin' Impaler cannot long prevail!!! Please don't tell me there were no guns in Ol' Vlads particular heyday...I'm just sayin'...
(Okay, for all the good folks who got their history from public education, it's now time to que the "Bush was just as bad as Hitler" theme)...have at it!
