In the meantime while everyone is looking at Elon Donald is signing executive orders to

Just want to point out, executive orders are the easy part. All you need is control of the executive branch for that, and even then federal judges can block any orders they deem illegal (which will ultimately filter it's way up to the Supreme Court) the real hard part is repealing acts of congress and even harder will be issuing new laws. That requires both the House and Senate to align their priorities and goals and agree on the specific legislation. This was an insurmountable challenge for the Republican party back in 2016-18 to the point where they were largely unable to pass any meaningful legislation
Remember the whole "repeal and replace Obamacare" thing?
Some context: The EU has been sanctioning the US over this for decades now, first we stopped selling drugs they use to murder people to prisons, then we completely stopped exports, it has gotten so far as to stop exports of precursor chemicals. And it's not like our pharma companies would mind they're actively on the ball regarding this, they don't want to be associated with it either.
If you want to be barbarians at least have the decency to not paralyse people while they die in abject agony but use a guillotine. Heck, firing squad or hanging are more humane than that injection stuff: Literally torturing people to death while making sure they can't flail and scream.
I'm not saying there will be mass deportation, indefinite detainment, and possibly executions of unwanted people, but they sure are lining up for it. For example ramping up execution of sexual predators, while at the same time labelling LGBT and drag as being predators, just for existing near children...
Like if Elon is a nazi, then we may very well see a DOGE squad hunt down "un-American" people in the darkest timeline.
