Never count these fuckers out. Never. The Capitol riot was bad and is causing a real schism in their party, but don't even pretend like they're done for.
Trump was a hair's distance from winning a second term two months ago. The number of popular votes it would have taken to swing the Electoral College was smaller than it was in 2016. Biden will almost certainly be an ineffective president since he's already built cabinet of yes-men and neoliberal ghouls. The economy is back to spiraling with jobs numbers declining again in an unemployment crisis. All of the conditions for a hugely unpopular Biden presidency leading to a GOP resurgence are there. Doesn't mean Biden has to be a lousy president, just that he likely will be.
Both parties have gigantic fundraising and advertising networks. Both parties have tons of megadonors and grassroots donors. The GOP's electoral college advantage is only going to get bigger (unless Texas actually goes blue). The golden rule that elections are basically just decided by how good the economy is has not been broken. If Biden is doing a shitty job and the GOP runs the My Pillow Guy for President, America will vote for the My Pillow Guy.
