Cutting power will buy less than a week of opportunity, and piss off LOTS of other ordinarily unmotivated, apolitical people.
You don't need a week; if you don't have any serious opposition under control within a few hours, you've lost.

It might be a move interpreted in ways so politically costly, that you'd only trade a serious opponent in the short term, for an inertia of lasting public resentment that creates larger enemies down the road. But, break some eggs and make an omelet. What do I know?
