He does have allies in Congress after bribing them, but at this point this support merely keeps him in power.
His efforts to rehabilitate the military period are a bad strategic choice, picking a cause which has little direct impact on people's lives, doesn't even have unanimous support (the dictatorship was popular at its apex and unpopular at its end) and fights off present-day civic propaganda with 70s civic propaganda. He's not a very intellectual officer, all he can do is repeat the old "Democratic Revolution of March 31st, 1964" rhetoric, even though "revolution" is a poor term for the historical reality, even "counterrevolution" makes more sense. A more productive endeavor would be to dehabilitate the memory of the communist guerrillas, who by this point have officially become "victims of political repression" even when they died in combat.
