this is highly debatable, right now you have about one entire roughly functional piece of the federal government, and about 30% of the population willing to fight over it, and probably some additional that are going to get caught in the cross fire. These people are GOING to resist, and they're going to resist effectively, because most of the government structure and logistics to supply the, currently exists.
If you wait until everything has collapsed, more people may die in the meantime, but now you're fighting against what is effectively the russian military during the invasion of ukraine in 2022 or whenver, as opposed to the current modern day US military that has in service F-35s. And numerous allies (who may or may not support them)
You're effectively fighting as a person with no experience and a lot of (misplaced) motivation, against someone who is trained, experienced, and aware of the situation.
As opposed to an opportunist making opportunist moves in an opportunistic environment. (the suitable one)
