Or was it Biden's victory and liberal's exhaustion with politics in a Trump-era world?
I can't help but wonder if the presence of a Democrat in the presidency just sort of pacifies liberal, left, and radical mass movements and mobilization.

I think it's really just because a democrat is in power now. You see it every time you try to criticize Biden. Libs froth at the mouth to tell you the alternative is worse. I think a lot of people out there who haven't radicalized have internalized that message and so the idea of a large protest or mass movement under a democrat president would "harm election chances" and therefore isn't worth it. I don't know how to untangle those brain worms they've got, but we should keep trying.
