The scariest part is that the average American is going to just dismiss it as too crazy to be true. There is an assumption that the US can't be broken by way too many Americans, and it is going to make easy for an end to democracy if Republicans regain control of the White House.
For sure, until the MAGA movement is dead every election is going to be about the continuation of democracy. One of the ways I think we can combat them is pointing out their constant trying to scare you into voting for them by making stuff up. Point out that they almost certainly know Democrats they don't necessarily agree with completely, but are clearly not trying to destroy their lives.

I get the desire to declare a climate emergency, but that doesn't take away from the IRA, which has spurred an incredible amount of investing in renewables, and is just getting started. Biden expanded drilling because of the war in Ukraine, and doing nothing to lower gas prices would have ensured Trump got reelected. Unfortunately the only way to make sure his climate legislation is continually enacted is by retaining the presidency.

The president cannot on their own, but if both chambers of congress are aligned with the president, there are a lot of laws they can change to give the president more power. There are also ways that the president gut the administrative programs and fill them with loyalists, which Trump has plans for if he gets back into office. Changing the constitution, which is the basis of our law requires a super majority to change.
No, but I imagine a lot of voters not paying a ton of attention are tired of the fear mongering.
I really want to see Biden spend more time calling for an end to the hateful rhetoric and pushing for unity. I imagine a majority of Americans are ready for the hateful rhetoric from the right to end, and I think we need someone like the president really pushing for a return of decency in how we treat each other.
Do people not realize we are in an economic recovery from the damage of the pandemic? The economy is doing fantastic when you remember that when Biden took over millions of people were unemployed, factories around the world were shut down, and trade and supply chains had come to a halt. The parts of Bidenomics really designed to help restore the middle class are going to take time, as building industry takes years, just building a factory from getting permits to workers starting on the production lines takes years. Right now we are in the economic recovery phase of Bidenomics, and it is performing far better than anyone with any realistic expectations had expected.

Xenophobes and bigots can't be swayed, but there are a lot of people that aren't afraid of immigrants, but they do hear that our borders are chaos and being overrun and think something needs to be done. Republicans dominate the conversation, and there is no Democratic counter argument that the public is aware of, making it very easy for Republicans to win the conversation as far as voters are concerned.
