Trump has been an absolute gift to neoliberals because his antics have allowed them to pin most of the current issues in the U.S. on Trump, when in reality it's the previous 40-50 years of policies (you could argue the foreign policy nonsense dates back to the Truman administration) that have put the U.S. where it is today.
If Biden doesn't go full dementia and just has 4 years of Obama era normalcy, that will be enough to get re-elected, or to pass the baton to a VP. Trump will still be a fresh memory then and I doubt any serious GOP contenders throw their hat into the 2024 election cycle for that reason. 2028 is when you'll see the new GOP come into full swing, stoking the fires of racism and hatred after 8 years of "dirty liberal" rule. They'll get someone who can tap into the MAGA cult that isn't a complete moron and runs the table in the election. That's when the real fascist policies start coming into play and America as we know it dies
