If the next president is a Democrat and has the Senate and House, they still can’t. There’s decades of institutional knowledge that has been terminated - and those people aren’t coming back. Many of them are also Republicans, even after seeing the damage, and they won’t be working to return everything to the way it used to be.
The Trump administration - and don’t fool yourself, he’s a pawn - has months to sabotage the handover of key roles. They’ve spent the last year demonstrating that USA is not a trustworthy partner in trade or defence. Treaties need to be renegotiated and other countries won’t be interested in giving the USA the same consideration that the post-Marshall Plan world would. Democrats in the USA see Trump and his administration; the rest of the world sees that “the majority” of Americans voted for him and his policies, and even now there’s still significant support for him.
It’s unlikely, too, that it will be possible to end DHS for example. There’s too many people in too many high places that have relationships that depend on DHS people for support. PATRIOT act is another example. The dogma that it’s legal for ICE to inspect within the 100(?) mile border zone. These are significant intrusions on basic freedom and privacy but they’re also centralization of power.
Isn’t one of the desenting opinions from the supreme court literally giving the president such sweeping immunities allows them to assassinate political enemies Scott free?

That, and the Supreme Court is stacked.

Not a dissenting (against the majority) opinion; the actual majority opinion of the court.
