The FBI calls those cults, usually with cause.

Some say it's useless to overthrow a government, because the first thing people do after is create another government. It's highly unusual to skip the first step, though.

Only if you want to be raided by federal agents.

Yes, and it will need a militia to protect itself, and a Declaration of Independence. You should focus on distributing food and arms to the people and constructing a leadership apparatus for your new nation.

Yes. Power's biggest fear is irrelevance. That's why power in distress is so violent- it's forcing it's relevance into a place where it doesn't provide anything and is not needed or wanted. At this point all the institutions in the US are a hindrance to the people and the people can manage much better without them.

Why "alternative government"? This current "government" is illegitimate and we should redo the 2024 election and swear-in the rightful government of the people then remove these traitors that are illegally occupying Capitol Hill

I think you're asking about secession, and at what point that becomes necessary? Texas threatens this every decade or so. The problem is that any individual states outside of New York and California would not be able to subsist. These two states because they have massive economies and are coastal, others because they are landlocked between. The first order of business down this road is finding legal ways to stop the flow of money from these states to the federal government and starving them, which will invariably destroy the country as a whole. It's complicated.

No, but as a whole nation.

Uh… where exactly? There’s not a lot of land that isn’t claimed by someone already and unless you’re willing to hold whatever new nation you’re trying to form by force, you’ll have a hard time. Trying to do that in the middle of the Gobi Dessert probably only requires a few million in weapons, but water is gonna be hard to come by. Trying it inside the USA is gonna be pretty tough. I’ll suggest buying an island for a couple billion, spend another couple billion on infrastructure and then just a kinda lay-low government, where you don’t officially claim independence, but also don’t really follow the laws you don’t like (see Epstein island for more details).

Just tell the AI to pretend he's a benevolent ruler and do what he says.
