Look at how much the federal government has expanded in the last 100 years. How much more the government controls the lives of it's citizens. Do you think that trend will ever stop? I don't see how short of tearing it down and starting over.
Socialism is just a slippery and irreversible slope to totalitarianism. It is the nature of bureaucracies. The longer they exist the more power they draw to themselves until words like Freedom and Liberty become hollow catch phrases.

And you think the direction MAGA is heading is anything less than totalitarian? Those people are not small government conservatives! They do not take the position of not liking how someone wants to live but recognizing it's none of their business. They are actively trying to legislate how others may live so they comply to religious beliefs. That is contrary to the 1st Amendment.
