We’ve had his pick for attorney general already withdraw from consideration after he knew he wouldn’t get the senate confirmation votes
They aren’t in lockstep in the way they need to be to be invincible
The US has managed to recover from the brink before so long as people fight
The very second US president, John Adams, threatened to be an all powerful leader after he passed the Sedition act. He used it to prosecute his political opponents for their speach. People fought against it, even if they had to write anonymously out of fear of persecution.

One of the provisions they ended up adding to get it through was one to make it expire in 2 years and soften the language a little. People fought it hard and eventually they let it expire once adams had lost the very messy elections of 1800 in part because of it
