The Republican Party, broadly. It's much easier to dismantle government when you've convinced voters that it is untrustworthy and incapable of success.


Step 1: Render government services ineffective

Step 2: Award contracts to private companies to fulfill the recently created gap in need

Step 3: profit


So their plan is:

    1. Destroy the government.

    2. ???

    3. Profit.


2. "Do whatever the fuck we want because who's gonna stop us, the government we gutted? lol"

Duh.


Step 2 is privatization, preferably to your friends and donors.


How do they intend to keep away angry people with pitchforks without a government?


They intend to keep people in a precarious position of debt and dependence such that they can't afford to pay attention because they're too busy trying to get by.


Oh, they don't want no government at all. Just to get rid of the parts that redistribute wealth towards and/or make it more difficult for private enterprise to make profit. The police can stay, provided they stay on-side.

We're talking about America here, not France. :)


What angry people with pitchforks?
