Isn’t there going to be a very big change to US government come january?

Towards authoritarianism and dictatorship and away from democracy, yes.

So change is possible if you gather sufficient votes?

In the US? No.

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.
