"But we still need SOMEOME to make laws, enforce laws, judge laws, assess health risks, etc.
We could shut down every single corrupt entity, fire everyone, and start from scratch. Then we would have to hire people with experience in this field and put them in control of the new entities. Who has any experience if we just indiscriminately fire everybody?
Okay so we cant fire EVERYBODY. We have to keep the non-corrupt ones. How do we decide who are the non-corrupt ones? Who investigates them if we just fired everybody who investigates people?
So we have to find out who in these agencies are NOT corrupt, so they can help us hold the corrupt accountable, and then help us rebuild new agencies under new names, carrying out the same intended function.
So we wouldn’t really be abolishing anything, we would just be cleansing and reforming these agencies, installing new management, promoting the non-corrupt rank and file, then changing the name of the agency to make everyone feel better.
Do you see my point?
Do you want anarchy or do you want the US government to operate as it was intended under new management?
The entities themselves are not the problem, the CORRUPT INDIVIDUALS in charge of these entities are to blame, and we must hold the individuals accountable to the full extent of the law, no exceptions. However, this idea that we can just come in and abolish and shut down the federal government is illogical and short-sighted.
Everyone wants accountability, but it’s not as easy as firing everyone and shutting down important government functions without a plan. This situation is unfathomably intricate and cannot be solved with emotional and whimsical acts. This requires precision and tact. NATSEC is on the line. Hundreds of millions of Americans, and arguably the entire world; all of their lives are at stake if this is not handled properly and the US falls into chaos.
Hope this clears it up for those of you who cannot seem to grasp it."

Shut it down
What's being proposed here is, "If we just put our white knight in charge, everything will be better." That works for a while, but eventually some shit socialist will get elected and swap out the white knight for their black knight, and then we're screwed again.
Most of what the federal government is doing doesn't need to be done by them:
Take all of the power away from the federal government. People will figure this shit out on their own. Then it doesn't matter so much who gets elected, because they'll be very limited in what they can actually do.
