    Apart from all the people who will suffer and possibly die from the lack of social services.

    People will suffer and die due to Trump’s destruction of the country’s infrastructure.

    If all federal workers hypothetically quit, everybody in the US would sudenly realize very directly and immediately the disaster Trump has created and might decide to topple him and his henchmen.

    But realistically they won’t. So federal services wil slowly worsen and people will suffer more and more without doing anything about it, like the proverbial slowly-boiled frog.

    That’s how all dictatorships entrench themselves: things get slowly worse, but slowly enough that people don’t want to take up arms, until it’s too late to take up arms.
