That's what we expected when Biden won in 2020, then Jan 6 happened and Trump is running again. There's an implication that things will gradually return to some 2007/2008 status quo (which was also very polarized) and right-wing extremism will simmer down. But there's no reason for it, no cultural forces for it. Right now there's no reason to think another Trump or someone worse won't take up the mantle of owning the libs by grifting the right.
