Imho, people should really read it and not just ask AI. Even more so US citizens.
It will impact far more than that, I'm afraid.
Once again, saying that as an EU-citizen witnessing the USA in the process of doing an almost perfect u-turn regarding its democratic-ideals (reading the Project 2025, one would get a much cleared idea why, beside the 'conservative' usual rhetoric), while our very own European and, in my case, French anti-immigration rhetoric are gaining a lot more traction... not all of them without any reason (as there are issues we should all be able to discuss freely and safely, no matter what we may think).
And that is not even the worst or most worrying thing that is happening. The worst being, as you rightfully pointed out already, the deconstruction of all institutions and at the same time the rapid erosion of the few ideals upon which said institutions were built. The same ideals and institutions that were supposed to prevent any grab of power by anyone, be they 'us' or 'them'.
