Trump is their tool to get into power. Trumps first presidency was unexpected, he didn't have a real plan to do anything. He was doing it for himself, his cabinet was filled with people there for similar self gain reasons. They were inept and mostly unable to do anything.
The second time around they have a plan, project 2025. It's not trump's plan but they'll do it in his name anyway, if not they can always 25th amendment him and have Vance instead. The authors and their acolytes will all be in his cabinet. They have the presidency, the house, senate, supreme court and already have many federalist society judges in place.
Will they be able to do everything in the plan? Probably not. Is it likely that they'll do great damage to the federal government and hurt many people? Yes, they're set up to do so already. Will states be able to resist? Maybe, the right is all for states rights but they're also hypocrites so I have my doubts.
Buying politicians, media and govt contracts has been going on for as long as govt has existed.
It hasn't suddenly begun in 2024, and institutions have lasted those hundreds of years, while being under constant assault by one mindlessly ambitious resourceful group after another.
Blindly pick any institution you want, and go look at their history. In fact, most would have been set up in reaction to some groups delusional activities. Its hard to find a single institution that some group hasn't tried to shutdown, control or exploit.
Institutions survive for the simple reason, that these groups don't have solutions for everything that happens in a complex ever changing universe.
And sooner or later the universe will throw some complex problem in their lap, that breaks whatever mental model of reality, their 3 inch chimp brain can hold. Such people and groups come and go all the time.
In Yarvin's conception, the first step is "RAGE", "Retire All Government Employees". And I don't think it's going out on a limb to draw a parallel with Schedule F.
