I doubt that, because you are falling for the fascist playbook.
A) They can make up whatever narrative, but they do need others to play into it because otherwise they just look insane and fascists are incredibly sensitive to mockery.
B) If you choose violent resistance, it will alienate your fellow Americans unless you can completely protect them from your actions (like Lūîgï).
C) It takes a really long time for a complacent nation to be convinced that it is worth joining a cause. You need a lot of charismatic and intelligent leaders to convince them, like Bernie, AOC, David, Jasmine, Frost, etc.
