done to the Federal Courts alone will last (it will already, but not as bad yet as it can get) for decades and be so pronounced the rollback in civil rights will be breathtaking. If Rump takes the SCOTUS to 7-2 or even 8-1 (Sotomayor's very bad diabetes) HARD RW plus gets Thomas to spin off and they replace him with a new, younger goon, I think that it will be laying the foundations for a nearly complete take-down of most all of the advancements post Brown v Board in 1954, and they will go for Brown eventually too.
The Red Sates will be like a pipeline of religious fascism, churning out test case after test case until they hit the paydirt of hate. I think that scenario will lay the groundwork for a Blue state rebellion, up to and possibly including a real and genuine succession movement starting in the early 2030's, especially if they try and go the full national outlaw approach on abortion, LGBTQ rights, etc. etc.
There is zero chance the bluest of the Blue states like mine (CA) will countenance that. If the Red States succeed in that harsh an approach and try to enforce it via the feds at gunpoint and withholding billions/trillions in mandated Federal expenditure disbursements to the Blue States, there will be insane internal pressure to get the fuck out of what, at that point, is a theocratic tyranny by the minority via an antiquated, finally broken, 250 year old (at that point) Constitutional system that has been scuppered by one side.
