Every power this administration has secured for itself will be available to and used by future administrations. Do not fool yourself into believing this state of conservative power over the three branches will last, it will not.
And now when it ends, the next administration will inherit this power to deploy the military for domestic use, with very few restrictions. They will inherit the power to detain anyone without due process based on the simple allegation that the detainee is here illegally. They will inherit the power to use the considerable spying apparatus that is Palantir against perceived domestic enemies.
The next administration will easily be able to create huge tariffs on imports, and relieve them in a targeted manner for specific companies as a reward for bribes and compliance. That is the current reality, and it is the world you are backing.
Finally, the next administration will have the ability to deal with the problems that have haunted this country since the failure of reconstruction. Guns, hate groups, religious cults, climate change deniers... the next admin will have many, many more options to address these problems. I hope you have considered the tools you are handing to the other side.
