David,
Good point to be made. Another thing I have considered is that there isn't the same wave of rebellious enthusiasm for Trump this time around like there was in 2016. In fact I would even say that Trump and his presidency reminds me of South Africa in 1994. Trump is basically the American equivalent of Terreblanche and his MAGA supporters are the equivalents of the Conservative party and AWB extremists. The only difference is Terreblanche never made it to the presidency of South Africa.
As for MAGA itself, it will die out. The next election will be one of diversity. And continuing elections thereafter.

I cannot honestly see Biden doing anything different in terms of governing. The rot is too entrenched in the American system. Obama found this out and so did Trump. Unless there is a major political revolution over there (which I doubt in the long term) I just see it being business as usual. I'm sorry but it's the truth.
