While I don't disagree with the uncertainty that others mention, I think you have a depressing point. Life won't change much in the short term. In the long term all kinds of things will happen that cause us to start ticking closer and closer towards where Russia is (let's say as of 2014).

We'll start seeing some of our best and brightest heading overseas for freedom. We'll lose valuable recruits for our military as hyper-masculinity drives out inclusiveness. We'll see increases in crony capitalism and a further rise in oligarchs who pad their own pockets more and more. That increase in corruption will lead to decreases in effectiveness in various areas (military preparedness, government funding for science research, government benefits programs, etc.)

All of that will build long term rot in our society. Our starting point could keep that rot from being exposed for decades or even longer. But eventually, it will be exposed, possibly in the same way Russia's rot is being exposed by a smaller nation with unicorn soldiers.
