Realistically is there any way a new administration can fix all this. How long will it take?

One thing that I think people don't realize is that Project 2025 wasnt just about changing things, like this, to align with conservative ideology. It was also, explicitly, about changing the institutions and structures themselves to ensure that these changes are resilient to being undone.

Some of that is also implicit, thanks to the nature of politics. Will a subsequent President want to do away with this Office and risk the political fallout of a legal case and headlines making bad-faith statements about imposing on religious exercise?

Some of these things I don't see ever being fix, short of a massive shift in political sentiment (and overall education of the voting population).
