The New Deal Coalition is the be-all, end-all of party power in US history, but what goes up must come down. The coalition bought a lot of time it arguably wouldn't have had with World War II and the Kennedy assassination. Even Democrats today, approaching a new hegemony not even on that level, are struggling to manage all the interests in their big tent.

Well, the coalition that could have produced the 413 map - that is, near-Obama margins with minorities, newly liberal suburbs, and a partial WWC rebound - would be pretty hard to beat for a long time. This is the "theoretical coalition" that produced those insane Wisconsin polling mirages in October 2020.

Pretty much. Democrats have a huge coalition on their hands, but their problem is turnout. That can't all be blamed on Republican attacks on voting rights or undemocratic institutions favoring land over people, though- the quality of their nominees is a big reason for this continuing electoral parity that they don't want to accept.
