How do dictators take over?

If the checks and balances work how they should Trump will just be a grossly incompetent man-child of a president. I really think this is the likely outcome. Still he could do some very messed up stuff.

No amount of checks and balances can function for long unless sufficient portion of those with influence are engaged, educated and recognizes a vital stake in the continued functioning of the checks and balances.  Republicans do not recognize any stake in any checks and balances that could temporarily inconvenience their immediate agenda.   Majority of Americans are idiotic yokels profoundly resistant to education and knowledge and yet steeped in the toxic tradition of always having the highest estimates of their own flaky impulses and make beliefs, which the republican feel no hesitation whatsoever to exploit to the utmost extent.

So don't congratulate yourselves if habitual checks and balances appear to work once or twice.  It will not keep working for long in the current America.

The younger adults in America are often well informed as to political issues. Unfortunately there are far too many people who believe fake facts like "Obamacare has death panels" "Illegal immigrants commit rape and murder."

I don't know if most of us are ill informed but it's way too many.

I would remind you, however, that Clinton did win the popular vote.
