I think the conversation is in that direction because the overwhelming sentiment was that this would be i) a landslide for Biden and ii) a repudiation of everything Trump and the GOP by extension have been over the last four years.
The fact that this election has not gone the way the majority of pollsters indicated signals a big disconnect between that expectation and reality.
