Not likely. Americans will simply ignore their "leaders" and re-form (form again) what the constitution laid out. Getting things done will be the objective and those standing in the way will simply be "take out".
The fact that people are waking up means that the Constitution will not be "lost". If people stay asleep, it will be lost. The threat of violence and discontented Americans means that the only a constitutional government can "govern". Other forms will be met with assassinations.
What we really need to worry about is how divided the military is. The average soldier has a very distinct view of what America is about, but if the generals go a different direction, then things will get super bloody.
And what law is that? Are they not sworn to uphold the Constitution? Even if there's a break in the application of the "law" (Constitution), the ideas ingrained in the minds of those in the military make it difficult to deviate seriously from the Constitution.
There may be civil war, but the Constitutions will be re-instated (or something very close to it).

We're getting closer to anarchy every day. It means the death of the Constitution. We're about to lose our republic.
Trump needs to reform it asap.

The military follows law. And if there is no law?
The only choices are reform or anarchy.

If the Constitution is dead in the minds of the people, they are relesed from their oaths.
People will not accept a copy after the other failed. We'll need an even better one to survive.

I think you're trying to convince people of this "failure".

No, I think Trump just bought even more favor from the gods.
He will unveil something strange. I don't see how he keeps doing it, but he does.
Get ready.
