The first stage is called "demoralization" which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve. According to the former KGB agent, that is the minimum number of years it takes to re-educate one generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country. In other words, the time it takes to change what the people are thinking.
Once demoralization is completed, the second stage of ideological brainwashing is "destabilization". During this two-to-five-year period what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (any ruling ideology) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it.
The third stage would be "crisis". It would take only up to six weeks to send a country into crisis. The crisis would bring "a violent change of power, structure, and economy" and will be followed by the last stage, "normalization." That's when your country is basically taken over, living under a new ideology and reality.

you decide at which stage we currently are.
That kind of thinking is extremely prone to apophenia. It's curious to think about but unreliable.
