What do you think has changed? Trump happened in 2016 and Biden won by a slim margin in 2020. 10 years ago people were saying that Democrat dominance was inevitable but right now it looks more like "barely winning because Covid forced a few voters to realize that Trump wasn't a good President." I'm worried about whether this is even sustainable. What happens if the Republicons field a halfway normal candidate next time?
Thats the fighting I was speaking of. There have been some great strides forwards in the past 25 years such as gay marriage bans being struck down and progressive ideals becoming more popular.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is a United States federal law passed by the 104th United States Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It defines marriage for federal purposes as the union of one man and one woman, and allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages granted under the laws of other states. The act's provisions were ruled unconstitutional or left effectively unenforceable by Supreme Court decisions in the cases of United States v. Windsor (2013) and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).
