If it does live on, I am not so sure the republicans will lose in future elections - between the electoral college advantage they have and the results of the last election.

Trump got more votes than any candidate in US history, except for Joe Biden. Therefore, I don't agree Trumpism wasn't a draw. It drew out both sides to vote, however, with Trump gone, it may just reduce the lefts excitement to vote.

Biden had a massive protest vote on his side. The right didn't really hate Biden like they did Hillary.
He's not that dead as a Republican force though. He'd easily win the nomination if primaries started tomorrow. He'd also have zero chance at the general. That is why the GOP would love to disqualify him.
