The other branches are now controlled by the same far right groups who largely fall in line with what Trump (or his masters) demand. There are no checks and balances now. Congress will propose and pass any legislation he wants and the supreme court will find no fault with the legislation. The public does not have to go along with anything. They have now given full control to the far right who is in lock step with their plan to dismantle the US government and rebuild it to suit their own whims. The guardrails are gone, there is no protection now.

Perhaps if children in many US schools were not forced to read to a pre set quota they night enjoy it. Being mandated to do something you may not already enjoy rarely results in future enjoyment of that activity.
