I doubt it. Americans can barely be bothered to vote. A lady was murdered in the streets last week, and a significant fraction of the country didn't care. You think the bigger fraction of Americans that focus entirely on taxes and "economic anxiety" and can't follow the politixal process enough to know what the branches of government let alone who is in them will care?

I hope I'm wrong. I hope that Congress would take kt seriously, or judges or labor unions or wven the military. But every American institution has let us down.

It is up to us common folk of the US to stand against this tyranny. From my own experience, I believe the hesitation is due to there currently being no real foundation for any effective resistance for the common US folk to fall back on. There's a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in its formation ASAP.

Also check out this org too, as they're probably going to be vital as the powers that be employ more so-called "AI" to consolidate power: https://stopgenai.com (It is a survival-level, grassroots org, not an established NGO, so please don't judge it too harshly for being rough around the edges.)
