      Peaceful transfers of power? You had a civil war over the transfer of power a century and a half ago, and “transfers of power” via assassination are common enough for the President to be the most dangerous job in your country. The “Can’t Happen Here” is due to a constant flood of exceptionalist propaganda; it has nothing to do with your track record.
