Since "Citizens United", it's not one person one vote. It's one dollar one vote.
All the racism, misogyny and immigrant hate was just bait to get the middle class to vote against their own best interests by slashing services and increasing import prices (tariff money goes to the government) to give tax breaks to the wealthy and to destroy regulations, especially on tech and crypto.

Is there a plausible path to revert Citizens United and enact aggressive restrictions on corporate donations?
Those are the options. I don't think there are any other (legal) ones. If you judge neither of those plausible, then, no, there is not a plausible path.
Choose the court by lot from the appellate bench for each case. The Constitution is intentionally vague on how the Supreme Court is constituted [1].

Some Supreme Courts only decide on constitutional issues, or if someone believes a constitutional right has been denied. It depends on the country. Some countries' Supreme Courts also examine all cases submitted, but, if the Brazilian example serves, it can take many years for a case to be seen. Pushing up criminal cases is a common strategy to exhaust the time window in which a case can be prosecuted.
These are usually referred to as constitutional courts. Because the Constitution vests "the judicial Power of the United States" in "one supreme Court," ours is also the court of final appeal.
