I'm unconvinced.

The world isn't going to stop in its orbit. We have a robust bureaucracy. The business of government clearly needs to keep happening, and this administration has amply demonstrated that it lacks the competence or interest to do so.

Reagan's administration basically excised him from the process for the last three years. Granted, he didn't start by firing everybody, but there's a whole lotta government that still exists. I still think we're going to muddle through. It's gonna be heinously fuckin' ugly and there will be bodies but "irreparable damage" to me vastly underestimates the world's desire for stability.
