There are four primary grid regions -- so obviously if you focus on the east the west will remain -- so then it becomes a conversation of how to either
motivate groups to regionally sabotage to make it an organized collapse
focus on regions more detrimental to society -- take a guess where that is :)
Texas is actually pretty easy to collapse as its infrastructure is already stretched to its limits by way of Houston, Dallas, SA and Austin growth not matching new resources. They often collapse on their own with weather. A little push in the right direction at the right time and Houston, Dallas (filled with vermin) collapse.
Another thing to tactical issue is movement of people in a collapsed grid. So you can to stage collapses in a sequence that steers people in the wrong direction or more importantly, discourages it, by being functionally blind.
Good luck shutting Texas down, though. Their grid is isolated from the national one.
