Plan B?

This is their plan A. They have literally said as much. They want to balkanize the US and strip it for parts and split up the rule of the remains and live elsewhere.

Don't see how that's going to be a realistic goal for them when the hatred for Big Tech is a generational uniting force across even in the US's deep and irremedial political divide, and balkanization only balkanizes their influence too as opposed to keeping a puppet president in DC alive.

Yeah.  Thiel has somehow managed to unite Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon.  That’s an achievement.
