If Project 2024 is implemented, it’ll take many consecutive terms with full control of Congress to fix the damage, assuming it can be fixed at all. Repealing legislation is far easier than enacting it.

Any future government will have any attempt to make change shot down by rubber stamp judges. The billionaire class won.
