Recently trump put out a list of early actions he will take. Read it. It is sobering.

  • removing "more than two million criminal illegal immigrants from the country;"
  • canceling "every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum, and order issued by President Obama;"
  • suspending immigration "from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur;"
  • repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act;
  • allowing the Keystone XL pipeline to move forward;
  • lifting restrictions on fossil fuel production;
  • selecting a Supreme Court nominee in the mold of the late Justice Antonin Scalia;
  • canceling "billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs;"
  • establishing "a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;" and
  • ending federal funding for sanctuary cities.

“As John Nichols wrote on Wednesday for The Nation:”

Make no mistake, Trump now leads the Republican Party. And that party has in recent years developed an approach to power. When it does not control the executive branch, the GOP obstructs the Democrat who is in charge. When it has the executive and legislative branches in its grip, the GOP acts. Quickly…

[Newt] Gingrich correctly noted that the platform on which Trump was elected outlines an aggressive anti-labor agenda that parallels the worst of what Walker and other members of the GOP's "Class of 2010" implemented in the first months of their tenures. The new president has criticized minimum-wage laws and supported anti-union "right-to-work" laws. Only fools would doubt that his fiercely anti-labor vice presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, will hesitate to implement the agenda (as a defining player on domestic policy) just as quickly as did Walker.

“Ryan himself said Wednesday in the wake of Trump's win: "Now...we will lead a unified Republican government," and talked of working together toward Republican priorities.

"The opportunity is now here, and the opportunity is to go big and go bold," Ryan said. “

This is historic. This is Ayn Rand ruling the country with virtually no checks. Ryan has spent years plotting a radical Randian agenda that normally would have no chance of passing.

This is the war for plutocracy and rolling back the progress of our country 50 years + breaking out the nuclear weapons. It makes the Reagan revolution look tame. Sorry the story is this bleak.
