I'm so sorry, Americans. I'm not sure who is even able to liberate your country. You and the Russians liberated the camps in Europe at the end of WW2, but who's there for you? I think you might need to liberate yourself. Again. I'm sorry. Good luck

Let em keep chopping off the federal government ..... at one point, individual states will start wondering why they are all interconnected in a union that doesn't do anything or provide any benefits any more and start acting like independent nations.
Exactly like every foreign adversary wants
The foes of Western Rome wished for its collapse, skip forward a couple hundred years and Charlemagne conqeured as far as Carpathia. Nowadays things most far faster, I suspect the voide would be filled by better organized states who will have roughly the same foreign policy within a decade maybe less.

I couldn’t even imagine what even dumber Americans would look like.
I refer you to the documentary films "Idiocracy" and "Don't Look Up"
Unfortunately, reality has surpassed the referenced films.
Idiocracy have aged like fine wine, it's like someone made it in the future and send it back in the time masheen at costco

Good news everyone! No more Student Loans!
Knowledge is power, and the GOP can't have educated people around...gotta keep that shit in check and keep our kids stupid so they can't ask questions, you know?
Remember when Bush pushed the "No Child Left Behind Act", and we all realized the federalization of control over education was deeply problematic and removed democratic control over education? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
The government not handling every social function in society isn't scary on its own. That in combination with the people as a whole having no control over the economy is when that becomes nasty (i.e., economic inequality). That is of course the vision of the ruling class.

US Healthcare system is the worst in the world by any measure from cost to outcomes
Republicans: lets do the same to the education system.
How you all haven't had a revolution I'll never understand.
When the capitol of the country is possibly thousands of miles away, and missing work means losing health insurance and becoming homeless, it terrifies a lot of people that can't even miss one day of work for being sick, let alone the days' journey and expense it would take. Much longer than the maximum 8 hour drive it would take to get from anywhere in Germany to Berlin, by comparison.
Not an excuse either, the US is just huge, and set up for citizens to fail if they actually stand up.

I'd love to be at the protests tomorrow. Why it's on a weekday I'm not sure, but my capitol is hours away, and I work. I just started a new job and barely make enough to make ends meet until I get my first commission checks. I wasn't working for months prior.
I literally can't afford to go protest.

So, the DOE handles student loans. No DOE, what happens to the loans?
I'm sure the "servicers" will continue to collect. Republicans went out of their way to file a suit on behalf of one of them that triggered relief getting blocked.
Don't worry, they will make sure to close all of the loopholes that might actually benefit the working class.

Yeah, you would think that would get rid of the loans, but realistically they'll just sell the loans to some bank, and then a political solution to debt forgiveness becomes completely impossible.

You mean the White House is preparing an executive order for protests so they can still gitmo faster?
Give the power back to the states but create a credentialing system to weed out 'unpatriotic' teachers. Shall that be left to the states too?
