The only chance of something actually "changing" is if enough people are disgusted by the Republican party in the midterms where we elect a new set of representatives, that Democrats win super-majority and introduce articles of impeachment and can get it to pass, in which case we get treated to months of circus-like trials where the president may get removed, or more likely would resign for "health reasons" before that could conclude.

The chances of this are slim because the democrat party has the same donors as the republican party, whatever happens is most likely going to be the will of many corporation's speculative ideas of what kind of outcome and administration will keep their board of investors happy.

It's more likely going to a slim turn towards Dem control, not enough to do anything but preserve some semblance of status-quo. If it's either Vance or Trump in power, neither will have the political capital to pass bills or get anything done through house and senate. They will be "lame ducks" almost guaranteed at this point. When "President Newsom" takes the Iron Throne in 2028, he will roll back some of the performative nonsense but keep everything that actually benefited corporations and the Trumpified America will settle in as the new standard, until some new giant, evil clown takes center stage in another ten years and starts the swing right all over again, this time even more hardline and authoritarian.

The system isn't being upheld at the highest levels because politicians feel like the average American voter feels disconnected from politics. So this means the Epstein files could have 4k video of Trump doing the acts people accuse him of and it won't matter. Whatever happens from here on out, unless there's a massive social disruption that hurts a lot of people in some way, physically or economically, there will be no consequence broadly. Maybe some mid-level stooges will go through some show-trials.

Trump may also just fukkin die at any moment, that's not nothing.
