A Goat Granny, having convinced 10 Sheeple Grannies to resist also, reaches maybe 1150% resistance.
Removing potential obstacles first does risk warning the intended target but reduces that threat back down to only having to face the ability of the one.
I am sorry gnarledmaw but I don’t quite understand your post to me....we are a country of 30,000,000 or more not just goat granny. My only skill is knowing how to point a gun and pull a trigger. Out west the resistance would be hot and heavy. Probably down south also, The upper atlantic coast would fall easily as would parts of california...
