The Education Department plans to announce Tuesday that it will move multiple parts of the agency to other federal departments, an unprecedented and unilateral effort to dismantle an agency created by Congress to ensure all Americans have equal access to educational opportunity and better coordinate federal programs.

The move was described by three people informed of the plan ahead of the announcement. Two of these people said six offices within the department would be shifted elsewhere; the third person said it was at least two.

    I think a lot of people still have difficulties understanding that the US will be dismantled down to the dirt. I understand. It sounds unreal to think that every single piece of this country will be eliminated and rebuilt into a country that is totally unrecognizable. People are fighting it mentally… They are denying it. Even when it happens, they make an excuse for it not being the end of the country… but if you look back in history, every civilization eventually ended.

      I agree with you. But for the rest of us that can see the shit fest of destruction coming, what’s going to happen after the next 3 years?

      Is it all going to be straight 'reconstruction ’ or a chance for something new to replace?

      Can we recover? This is the question that fills me with dread in bed.

        Oh, no… It’s going to be rebuilt back up similar to handmaid’s tale. Total authoritarianism. If you want freedom, come back in about 200 years.

        Best case scenario is the states split off, there’s a mostly cold war, and the land known as the United States is financially crippled for generations as they try to stabilize. I would recommend not being in a red state, because there will be no federal government to keep them in check.

        If you smash a vase, someone will eventually pick those pieces up. They might reassemble it into a bowl.
