Especially with the House.  In the Senate we have enough seats that we're no longer held hostage by RINOs like Murkoski.  But the House is another animal altogether.  There are lots of divergent viewpoints and they are all up for election in 2 years so those Republicans in purple districts are going to be cautious.  The good news is at least 2 years without stupid impeachments so we have that going for us.  Trump will do a lot of things via EO but all that can be reversed by the next Dem President.  We need legislation and that is not going to be easy or come quickly because DC is dysfuntional and inefficient.

As for the election, all the talk of this being some kind of permanent realignment forget the last 20 times each party misinterpreted one good election result as some historic shift (remember Obama?).  Trump is a unique individual and time will tell whether whoever is the nominee in 2028 can replicate his ability to reach people, especially Hispanics and blacks.  And believe me when I say this, Democrats crave power more than anything and are going to try to reach those people and get them back in the fold.  

Just a friendly PSA for the men out there.  If you see a woman with a shaved head who is sex starved, covered with tattoos and has a nose ring I suggest you cross the street for your own safety.  The videos these loons are posting certainly proves we have a mental health crisis in this country.  The 4B movement is the reaction of leftist women who have replaced faith in God and marriage with govt to provide them with security.  That is a long-term and disturbing trend.
