    There likely wouldn’t be enough IRS agents to audit that many people at once. There aren’t enough to go after tax cheats when people abide by the system en masse, so if there were a concerted effort to stop paying, they would probably have trouble with enforcement.

    Now, I’m 100% certain that the Trump admin would push the IRS to “make examples” of a few unlucky people, and I’m not expecting a large enough pool of people participating in the new viral meme “just don’t pay your taxes, they can’t arrest us all” for it to matter.
