You really haven't been paying attention...

The "16 year plan" would have ABSOLUTELY resulted in a civil war, then eventually a scorched earth Holodomor.

It has, SO FAR, been thwarted.

You really should familiarize yourself with the details of that original plan... it would have worked VERY well. The ENTIRE WORLD would have been united against us - full narrative control. It is exactly your type that would have paved the way for their victory, too.

We would have been locked down in fear because of a REAL pandemic, or rounded up in a camp, completely unable to organize, let alone fight. And, this only barely scratches the surface. Lack of food, supplies, etc. You and your neighbors little AR-15 might have kept you alive for a few days longer than some, but divided we would be, and that's not a recipe for victory. The hordes of immigrants, foreign armies, and useful idiots would have easily overwhelmed enough of the country to call it over.

And, even if some of you succeeded in forming up and holding out, your "victory" would be very short lived... the DS wouldn't care. Eventually you would starve, or, the nukes would come. They didn't care how long you lasted - it would have been a victory for them as long as the US of A ceased to exist. Scorched earth still gets the world population down below 0.5B, just as planned. "Heads I win, Tails you lose".

They wanted us GONE. Not conquered. Not just disarmed. GONE. That's a whole different war...
