Nah. Just start selling the US bonds that backs the US currency. The USD with crash in value.

Most of the people in charge don't have their value in USD, they have it in material and speculative value. The crash of the USD will hurt everyone but them.

Crashing the USD would be its demise as the global reserve currency, which would evaporate all that speculative value overnight.

Sure, the oligarchs would still have their mansions, bunkers, and bullet-proof SUVs, but their primary source of leverage and influence would be gone. They would become irrelevant.

Would this finally cause the american population enough distress to heave themselves off their armchairs, put down their hotdogs, turn off the TV, and get out the guillotines?

No that idea died when the military became infinitely more advanced than the populace
