It’s mostly a conservative fantasy. The idea is to bring back the spoilage system and executive order everything they want. The risks are huge there is just so many systems that no one besides a small number of civil servants and industry insiders know about. The FAA was shutdown the 737 Max got snuck in. Now there is plenty of blame to go around but we can’t ignore that government inspectors weren’t at work when this happened.
No, I don’t think we are going to see soldiers on the streets, what I think will happen is random stuff will break.
With that said I am actively working to get my kids dual citizenship partially because of this.
