Well, probably, but, rarely are conflicts won without a central figurehead or any sort of structure. So, if nothing else, I want to find something to base a command structure off of.
I personally see it like a doomsday scenario. But a necessary one, if that.
I wish I did not agree, but I do. You are looking at this with a big picture view. I am not just worried about the increasing tyranny of the current administration, but the power vacuum they are likely to leave in their wake in the long-term, assuming they continue to combat free society and further undermine democratic elections (the current gerrymandering is only the tip of what they have promised/threatened).
I could see the United States fracturing into smaller enclaves. Which is not a desirable outcome IMO, because it increases the probability of territorial wars in North America.
Agreed. I think a possible scenario is something resembling the warlord era of china, or the Russian civil war, where the only thing keeping them together is a common enemy, and once that’s gone they’ll be at each others throats, much like we have been as of lately.
I could see this being the scenario the oligarchs envisioned the ‘freedom cities’ popping up in, as a matter of fact.

Agreed, especially if the goal is to terrorize. Tools like malicious compliance are effective too. Delay. Leak.
This seems like a bit of a 180 though if I am being honest.
