The Globalists don't seem capable of learning from history. One event of the 20th Century stands out to me as instructive for would-be tyrants.
The sudden downfall of Nicolae Ceaușescu and his Romanian Communist government is one of the more gratifying scenes from the fall of the Soviet Union. Ceaușescu had held an iron grip on Romania for many years and his secret police terrorized the citizens for just as long.
Then one glorious day, Ceaușescu was delivering another tiresome speech to a massed crowd (who were forced to be there) and something happened, something unprecedented. For reasons that are still in dispute, the crowd turned and started chanting against him. Here is a short video that captured the sudden turn of events:
And that, my frens, is an illustration of how quickly tyrants can become offal. The events in Romania took place in about 3 days. From dictator to being placed at a wall and shot. Don't bother with "won't be able to walk down the street," [they] will be running for their very lives.
True enough, but it's also possible that the military, sensing that the tide had suddenly shifted and there weren't enough of them to take on the entire enraged Romanian population, came to their senses, figured their odds, and sided with the ones who had the higher probability of succeeding. Their thinking might have been along the lines of "There are 5,000 of them to each one of us, and even having arms, we are outnumbered".... and did not want to be torn apart by an angry mob, the military suddenly realized that they had been part of an evil regime and decided to simply stop supporting the dictator.
People (and human nature in general) are calculating survivalists and cynics. Say what one might about their patriotism or desires for freedom, the Romanian military must have also realized the ultimate hopelessness of their fragile situation. Just my opinion.
It is difficult to rejoice at the death of another human being, but Ceaușescu was a singular exception to the rule and got a lot less than he deserved.

but it took the military to turn on him and be on the side of the protestors for this to happen without much blood shed.
when will our military say enough is enough and do the same?

He was a terrible person...
As well as his lovely bride, Godzilla. She was also a piece of work who got much less than she deserved.
