Yes people won't be able to travel and it will affect people for a few weeks or months but after that it won't be much of an issue and if there is enough publicity it's not really TSAs problem.
The vast majority of Americans do not have a passport or any form of photo ID except their driver's license. A state would not be able to develop a RealID license in a short period of time, and would not be able to re-issue new licenses to everyone in an even longer period of time. As far as forcing citizens to use a passport for domestic travel, that's a political non-starter on a number of fronts. Having to pay $110.00 and waiting a few months for a passport just so you can fly from Kansas to Florida isn't an acceptable solution for most people.
