The oligarchs will continue to amass wealth and power. They will, with the blessing and oversight of the President, co-opt state institutions and steal from the working class.

Political dissent will be crushed, sometimes with violence. Politicians who oppose the President in private will bend to his will in public for fear of being physically attacked or worse.

State security services will investigate and charge those who oppose the President, creating false pretenses that circumvent normal processes to ensure long prison sentences.

Media conglomerates that are not already controlled by the oligarchs will be captured and internal dissent will be snuffed out.

The next 12-24 months will likely be a period of rapid privatization of parts of the government. The oligarchs (Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Ellison, Thiel, Kraft) will be handed sweetheart deals to control parts of the ex-government. They will offshore their wealth.
