There will be two small changes.

This gives the Republicans a megaphone, so you'll be hearing their ideas more.

And the real change is that presidential appointments, which were moving very slowly through Congress, will now halt.

The optimist in me will point out that if Congress actually tries to get real work done, this government could be very productive. Reagan was in a similar situation with a Democratic Congress back in the day, and he and Tip O'Neill were able to make various compromises and pass a lot of legislation. That's a big "if," but it's possible.
