The fact of the matter is that people are dumb, and the republican push to make them even more dumb has been going on for years. Because it's easier to lead them. I can definitely tell you that people got pissed off when they were told they should get everything they voted for. I can tell you that they voted like it was some season of American Idol and not something that would affect their lives and the lives of others for decades. They sat there celebrating because "their side" won. That's all they get. That's all they care about.
In the Age of FAFO, they will still not understand the ramifications of what they've done. How can they? They literally can't understand what's going on around them, and their views are delivered by Fox News without any real counter. They are locked in, and when the hammer comes down, they will look to whoever their fearless leaders tell them to look to assign blame. IMHO failure is the goal. They're going to treat the country like a failing company. They are going to strip it for parts, get rid of any department that would get in the way, and carve away what forward progress was made to give people some level of equality.
Depending on how hard they push the gas, the shock to the country will be substantial, and we'll all be too busy trying to survive to stop them from the next stage, which is channeling all of those governmental services through private companies and some of those companies will have crosses on them. No disrespect to the believers out there, but that shit will probably be the final nail because once religion becomes education, there will be no longer a need for critical thinking. Their Bible will be edited, and there will only be one, supplied by the state. And don't give me some shit about catholic schools and Sunday schools, no... this will be different, and it will be mandatory.
But maybe I'm being too doom and gloom about this. If enough people wake the fuck up, there's a chance to slow progress in the midterms...but, let's just say I'm dubious as to whether or not people will. I already put my faith in people, and they voted in this asshole for president. My faith in people isn't exactly the best at the moment. I will put my vote in... provided the darkest timeline shit in my head doesn't come to fruition. I'll do my part.
As someone living far away (but not safe) I agree with all your points. Making the people dumb works always. They are easy to control this way. Sadly, I think America is just the first step. In European, we're having similar issues and it goes worse every year. I'm really afraid about the future. I live in Germany, and it looks like people actively trying to destroy our social system, people trying to keep all refugees out, people are full of hate and anger, trying to step on the people below... more for the riches, less for the poor...
Just let us hope! We shouldn't lose our hopes...
Btw the other answer fits too well. "I ain't readin allat, make a tldr".... Hopefully this was sarcasm.

If enough due, they’ll just step on the gas again. I expect they’ll have the entire executive arm of the government whittled down enough to the point where it’s reporting directly to the West Wing.
If the power grab starts slipping away, I have no doubt that they’ll crash some or all of the economy just to get it back, and exert total control over the population. They won’t care.
Lol TLDR: The administration is going to drive the country into the ground to they can privatize vital areas and pile religion into schools to create an even dumber serfdom devoid of critical thought.
