Well, he’d pretty much turn off the government if he turned off the internet anyway
You say that as if Republicans don't want exactly that.
No internet, no imaginary numbers go up.
Republicans don't want government, but they do want their corporate masters to make money. Which whey won't do if there is no internet.
Are you suggesting that the Republicans might lack a sense of foresight and awareness of the consequences of their actions? Well I never.

Stores and banks aren't stocked or staffed for turning off e-commerce. Banks hate when customers walk in the door instead of doing everything online. And the stores woods have to find a drastically different equilibrium without internet advertising or orders. It would be absolute chaos.

He shuts down major backbones, effectively turning off the U.S. Internet. At the same time, he releases a story to the media and telcos about a major attack on the backbones - a virus, whatever. There's panic and chaos, as the country grinds to a halt.
He uses that to declare martial law.
After a sufficient time (a small number of days, or even hours), he turns the backbones back on, claiming experts have fixed the problem. Citing martial law, he puts restrictions in place on the U.S, Internet, as dictators do.
We now have severely limited access to real news and information, martial law, and a dictator in place. American Democracy is dead.
Vote Democrat. No matter how much you think they're the same, they aren't.
