It would very easily work, because it's already happening. Bernie Sanders and AOC and some muttering on social media from some citizens and noise at Town Halls are being shut down anyways is not a resistance.
Even the January 6th crowd gave up after a day because it's a strain on their gelatinous asses to stand on their feet for so long. Let that sink in, they keep calling for this since 1980, nay, since after losing the Civil War, and when their awaited day finally came, they left and went home in time to eat their nightly Hot Pockets.
Those are the gun-toting RWNJ who shoot squirrels and little birdies for fun. And they're too lazy to stage an uprising. You think some collegiate anemic Antifa dweebs are going to do better? You think the average concerned citizen will rise up?
It's not an accident that Americans are fat. Fat people don't rebel. Give us our daily bread. Did you know that that was a Roman practice, that every household of the Roman empire was eligible to one free loaf of bread a day if they needed it? Jesus wasn't praying to God, he was praying to the Roman government. To make sure that everybody stays fat enough that they don't rebel.
Remember how it was illegal the last time for Trump to station military at the border. Don't you think it's kind of funny that I'm the only one on planet Earth that is pointed this out now that he's doing it? Really? I'm the only one that noticed?
Just like when he had his signature on two rounds of stimulus checks despite it pointed out that that only the Secretary of the Treasury could have been their name on it. Checks. Signature. And nobody did anything even about that. Signatures. On a check.
Ain't anybody going to do shit other than the released January 6ers using the opportunity to do some additional target practice on something slightly larger than a squirrel.
