Trump was a huge boon to the GOP. He gave them a kind of legitimacy they'd struggled to claim since Reagan left office.
But he was paddling upstream in a country that was trending bluer with every election cycle. He squeaked by in 2016 on razor thin margins (just like Bush in '00) and lost the "I hate incumbents" vote, despite enjoying some of the biggest turnout in GOP history.
Biden is going to reverse 40 years of aggregated Dem gains inside a single two year cycle. By the time he's out of office, Republicans won't need to bother with gerrymandering, because Dems will be out like the Whigs of 1860.
