Not until it actually flips. The election of Trump despite incredible odds pointed to a continuation of institutional strength for the Republicans in 2016, although similar to how Carter's Evangelism and deregulation was a far cry from the New Dealer ideology that started his alignment, Trump ran on a break from Reagan Era neoliberalism. Trump isn't the disease, but a symptom of the Reagan Era in decay. To realign, the social conservative-business conservative Fusionism that has dominated the Republicans' coalition since Reagan will have to be broken decisively, and the Democrats will have to secure their big tent politics. I don't know if Biden is the one to maintain a paradoxical coalition of minorities, progressives, and business conservatives. You can only run on "we're not them" for so long, especially after Trump is gone and a Democrat has the presidency. The spotlight will be on them and their ability or inability to please everyone.
