The essence of political resistance is that it must be organized and focused. It calls for leaders who can identify government weaknesses and find ways to exploit them. It requires funding and discipline. Until you have all that, you do not have a “resistance” — you have dissatisfaction.
Once a genuine resistance is in place, we can discuss collaboration. A collaborator is someone who has something to gain by working with the oppressor. A collaborator is not someone who has everything to lose with no hope of support from the other dissatisfied members of the community. Meaningful resistance takes courage, and all those calling for resistance must be willing to risk something, too, rather than just ask someone else to resist. Furthermore, those in the resistance must be energized and prepared to play the long game, which is something most Americans on the right are not very good at doing.
