I don't think any of this really matters anymore.
We're seeing a cycle of Republicanism from the 80's only more extreme.
There's going to be a lock down on rights for anyone who isn't a white Christian male.
The sheer vindictiveness on minorities, gays and women will be sharp. There will also be a drive to break apart the schools so you know any child with developmental, mental, or physical issues will be shunted to empty rooms.
There will be a drive to privatize schools or force online schooling which will water down any sort of consistent knowledge base. Colleges will become either more selective institutions for the elite or paper mills for jobs that don't exist but will lay heavy debt on loans to their students.
In about 10 years, with the courts owned by extreme conservatism, most towns and cities will be like the South where if you didn't attend church you will be shunned. Or if you are financially capable, you'll hide out in your second or third home while the nation breaks.
It's gonna be fun when you can conceal carry as a minor in schools for protection and challenge any rational discussion with MAGA or White Jesus says No.
With abortion banned, more unwanted kids will enter the system to feed the private prisons. Crime will go up and poor and crime ridden sections of cities will become free-fire zones. Rural and suburban police with there 2nd hand military weaponry will force undesirables into the cities. They won't even redline anymore, just arrest them and dump them.
Industries will be able to skirt any pollution or safety controls to make their shareholders happy. The great resignation will become the greatest depression as many who quit their jobs or retired early will race to take any sort of job to stave off the inflation or debt as their coffers will be drained. Most benefits will be bare minimum.
401ks will collapse with the influx of cryptofunds which in ponzi scheme like ways will amazingly disappear leaving the next few generations bereft of any retirement funds.
A MAGA congress will vote to eliminate Social Security and Trump in his fifth term (drooling and shitting himself constantly) will sign it to law stating it's the best thing for Americans to work until they die for him.
It's gonna be good times folks.
