Possible future scenario?
It all started in November of 2008. After the nuclear war with North Korea devastated several American cities, the current President George W Bush assumed complete control over the government and refused to leave office, nullifying the elections. Peaceful protests sprang up all over the country. The National Guard was deployed and by early December several protesters were captured or killed.
Many left the country. Soon, the amount of refugees became a problem for the rest of the world. All around the globe borders started to close. In early 2009 the fifth Patriot act was passed and prohibited Americans from traveling abroad without special permission papers. We became prisoners. Curfews were enacted and in some regions the sight of military personnel on street corners became all too common.
The government began to control the press with an iron fist. It became a crime to speak out against the United States and even foreign journalists were kidnapped and tortured. The internet was hit the hardest. Many bloggers were arrested and detained indefinitely. A new task force was created in order to deal with “cyber crimes”. Free thinkers everywhere were targeted and nearly wiped from the face of the earth.
By 2010 a small group of insurgents had formed a new political party. The New American Revolutionaries, as they were known in the beginning, were a group dedicated to a peaceful solution to the current government. They began to garner a measure of support amongst the American people despite the fact that many of them were now wanted criminals.
It was the night of December 9th, 2011, that would change the world forever. Seven high ranking members of the rebellious political party were captured by American soldiers and subsequently executed on national television. This was meant to have the effect of crushing the rebellion forever. What happened next was just the opposite.
Americans everywhere took up arms against our leaders. Chancellor Bush declared martial law. There were reports of massive desertions in the military. Many were joining the revolution. On Christmas day, 2011, the first battle took place for the city of San Francisco. 25,000 Americans died in that battle. The rebels had taken a base. The civil war had begun.
Neighborhoods were torn apart. All semblance of normal life in America had been destroyed. Even small rural towns became war zones. By 2014 nearly half of the population had been wiped out. The rebellion held much of the west coast while the republic held the east. The Midwest was literally ripped apart.
It wasn’t until 2018 that the tide of the war changed. The rebellion had taken control of Florida and was poised to make a push for DC. Up to this point, the European nations had taken a hands-off policy on the situation in the US. In late November, a coalition of six nations (Including Great Britain, Germany, France, China, Russia, and Holland) agreed to send troops to aid the rebellion. On the 1st of December, the attack was launched.
The body of the Chancellor was found slumped over his desk in the oval office. He had shot himself in the head with a revolver as soon as it became evident the allies were closing in and his army was defeated. The rest of his administration was arrested and tried for treason as well as war crimes dating back to 2003. The republic had fallen. The war was over.
We had lost everything. However, for the first time since 1776, we were also free to do anything.
It was the beginning of a new world...

@axxxr: Highly unlikely...ever heard of checks and balances? I know at times it might seem that Repugnants have got their fingers in every pie but I still have faith in the American democratic system.

I'd have the US and it's BS everyday as opposed to a world where the likes of Iran/DPRK sets the agenda...then again I don't think they've got any ambitions for world domination.

You mean apart from the fact that ultimate power resides with an unelected religious leader and that its President has denied the Holocaust and the same President has talked about Israel being wiped of the map?

Let's have a look then ...
A few things wrong here. First of all the idea of a nuclear war with North Korea and the devastation of 'several American cities'. North Korea possesses, at most, a handful of nuclear weapons, which may not even work properly. Furthermore it does not yet possess a reliable long range delivery system. The U.S. has been trialing a missile defence shield. The only way for North Korea to reliably attack the U.S. mainland with nuclear weapons at present would be to smuggle them into America or get them close enough on ships. Neither undertaking would be easy given that North Korea's nuclear weapons are likely fairly large devices, and not best suited to discretion. Any movement of suspicious ships of the U.S. coast would no doubt be tracked, and again the above missile defence shield may come into play.
Of course this all assumes that North Korea launches an attack, which they are unlikely to do unless the regime there feels it is about to loose power.
How would an American president become a dictator? The office of President does not have unlimited powers and Congress could impeach and remove a President. A president would need a huge Congressional majority of loyal supporters to make changes to the constitution. Given that not even all Republicans are 100% loyal to the Bush Administration, much less Democrats and independents, I can't see this being a viable possibility. The system in the U.S. was designed with various checks and balances to prevent such things from happening. Given that the U.S. has gone through sever crisis before and a dictator has never appeared I would say that that system appears to be functioning rather well.
Whoever wrote this scenario was obviosuly influenced by Nazi Germany, with references to 'Chancellor' and suicide of the dictator.

Unelected leader which the people of Iran support,western democracy style rules don't apply in certain countries don't forget,Iran being a Islamic Religious state different rules govern the system of elections.
for him to deny the holocaust maybe a bit extreme i understand,but thats proberbly due to his bitterness towards Israel....His talk of wipeing Isreal of the map is is part of that aswell,..Israel is occupying stolen Palestinian land so calling for the destruction of it is a natural thing to say for him....The problems in that region have existed only because of the constant injustice and inhumane treatment of the Palestianians by Israel...Until a Palestinian state is created neighbouring countries such as Iran will always have extreme views towards them...I myself am against a single state of Israel with the Palestinians having no place to go....A Two state solution is the only way forward if everyone is to peacefully co-exist!

If N Korea would even make the slightest attempt against the U.S.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki would seem like a fire cracker after a U.S. response on N. Korea.
I guess other countries look at the U.S.'s caution on world affairs, issues and certain wars as weakness.
Make no mistake about it.... a serious threat would be dealt with, in such force the world has never seen.
Israel is another force to be reckoned with. ( These boys don't play ) ......
