We are a nation of somewhere above 300 million people. It would take a heck of a lot more than one or ten or one hundred or even hundreds of thousands to effect that kind of change. The overwhelming number of people are followers, not leaders. The kind of "stop consenting" movement you and I are imagining would take a leader like Trump (only more focused). The leader would need an incredibly loyal, dedicated support staff, and a truly massive number of citizen followers. I don't see that ever happening.
I don't either, and for one reason: We, the People, prefer our creature comforts far more than the sacrifice it would take to simply quit consenting.
