Biden needs to understand the GOP plan moving forward is crystal clear:
-commander his appointments
-pass no legislation at all
-cripple the economy with no stimulus
-shred voting rights with SCOTUS
-gerrymander
-blow out 2022 midterms
-lock in permanent minority rule
-win 2024
Everything that goes wrong from here on out will be blamed on Democrats. The Democrats only have a few tools here: the executive, a massive, majoritarian coalition, and a GOP split over Trump, with none of Trump's ability to produce turnout waves in presidential elections.
Biden needs to go on the all-out offense in every possible way. He can't rest on his laurels or call for national healing, because it's trivially easy for the GOP will use any reprieve to transform him into Jimmy Carter 2.0 and a far-right restoration in four years.
Step one is to understand that Trump lagged the downballot GOP in Georgia, and tar Perdue and Loeffler with Trumpism, in the hope you can take the Senate in the coming specials. Step two is to not let McConnell control your admin. Advice and consent is dead, Trump killed it.
The courts are your mortal enemy, even more than McConnell. It's no exaggeration to say that they could accomplish more far-right agenda items in your four-year term than Trump accomplished in his.
