Be vocal about removing our consent. Make efforts to remove the shackles, their money is a good place to start imo. If we are in any way voluntarily dependent on the state, we have acknowledged its ownership of us, and we should cut that off.
But most importantly, I believe we must actively, everyday, cede sovereignty to Christ. IF we place faith in the state/king, we turn our back on God.
We should not only shed the enslaving shackles of dependency, we should withdraw the presumption of legitimacy that we have been granting to governments for the last 10,000 years. Without that, they collapse.

Would it be fair to combine those two points by saying, "Render NOTHING up to Caesar, for nothing is Caesar's"?
Sure, that simplifies it! Everything is Gods!
