Anything that Trump has done via executive order can be undone just as easily, but the weakening of U.S. soft power is likely permanent. Nobody can trust the United States to act as a consistent and reliable cohort in any capacity, because we have proven to be unreliable and our foreign policy has been wildly inconsistent, shifting with the whims of the ignorant American electorate every 4-8 years.
I also don't think it's going to be that easy to purge the MAGA corruption from government agencies. They will put their masks back on and pretend to be good little worker bees, but everything that they do will be in service to Trump, not to the nation or the constitution. It will take ten times longer to root them out and oust them than it did for Trump and his cronies to install them.
If we have an unbroken string of left wing progressive presidents for the next 30 years, we might recover. If even one Republican snake manages to slither into office, the work will be undone in the span of a single term.
You're wrong, though. Executive orders can be undone, but it's what happened after the order was issued that cannot. People quit. People died. People got tortured. Institutions collapsed. You can't undo that by reversing the order.
Roughly 1/3 of America voted against what we have now. That means 2/3 are still wanting (or at least complicit) with what we have now as well.
