As I posted earlier today, the 2020 election is far from being determined. The media can propagandize all they want by calling Biden "President -elect". They can hold press photo-ops of him naming people to cabinet positions, and posturing all they want, but none of that brings him one inch closer to being POTUS.
If, however, God forbid, that Biden were to become president. and even if Democrats were to come up with majorities in both house of Congress, they still would not have a control grip on US politics. Remember that the US Supreme Court has a Republican majority, with or without the RINO Roberts.
If Democrats gained control of the legislative and executive branches, everything they tried to do could be shot to pieces, by the judicial branch. Just as Democrats did for years, for every executive order or bill passed they don't like, Republicans could go judge shopping, find just the right judge, and file a lawsuit. With the SCOTUS in a Republican majority, Republicans could be generally confident of stopping most things Democrats might come up with.
Sure, the SCOTUS didn't rule in Republicans' favor in the Texas lawsuit, but that isn't likely to prevail over time, as shown by other cases where the big court did rule in Trump's favor (ex. Muslim countries ban, favor to religious groups on Cuomo church restrictions, ) The SCOTUS still has Republican majority, and those justices still are conservatives.
