Yeah it's pretty obvious Obama was the ticket to strengthen their base and widen powers before they would totally clean house, which is why Trump getting elected instead of Hillary was a complete break in their "approved plan" in many ways.

If Kamala gets elected (lets be honest Biden is not going to run anything) then that means they will be trying to bring the hammer down even harder against their enemies to make up for lost ground. They have made it clear doubling down will happen instead of any kind of change of pace.
