Some predictions:
It'll take at least a year before the (red) states, and their voters, who receive a lion's share of the federal funding/support, realize that they have been royally screwed.
Musk has his demolition crew working at blitzkrieg pace, and his ego and money make him believe he is some kind of savior. Once DOGE puts down the sledge hammer, and have sufficiently cleared the field for the Project 2025 game plan, they will be thrown under the bus with extreme prejudice, and solely blamed for the misery. MAGA world will then seek them out for revenge; armed revenge. Dear Leader will make sure his adherents know who DOGE are, and where to find them, because he is always for We the People, as long as his people understand that it is Me the Leader who alone can fix it.
Any rulings that are finally handed down by the US Supreme Court, as a check on executive power, will be mostly pointless, because the cases will have taken far too long to work their way through the judicial process. By that time there will be little further recourse.
The Republicans in Congress will remain in the background, while the Democrats continue to wet the bed. (Of course, the main job of any politician, of either party, is to keep their job/power, and to convince you, the voter, that they will fight for you. And most of that fighting will be on the never-ending campaign trail, full of snappy slogans, and righteous indignation.) Red state voters will eventually rise up, but will recalcitrant Republican representatives listen in time?
Probable armed confrontations between citizens will provide a literal smoke screen as the executive branch, under Dear Leader, consolidates power, while the wealthier citizens, of both parties, demand that order be restored.
Within two years, many of the goals of Project 2025 will be achieved. I heard a farmers' union big shot claim that he thoroughly read the agriculture piece of that tome, yet wishes he had read it closer, because he now realizes that his mainly (red voting) members are, and will continue to be, very adversely affected. Folks like him better watch their back, too.
By the time voters wake up, and the Bed-Wetter-Party wins another presidential election, the oligarchs will have already laughed their way to the bank, and many voters will just accept a 're-organized' America, finding themselves still okay financially.
In this good ole US of A, there two things that I know for certain:
- those with less money want more
- those with more money want yours, too.
