I agree. I think Democrats should have let Trump win unopposed in 2020. Then he could have dealt with the global supply chain crisis, had inflation attached to his name, been a hero for getting it back down again, etc. And then he'd be gone.

At the very least we would have avoided this incredibly damaging narrative about the stolen election. And there's a chance that the country would be less polarized than it is now.

Hindsight is 20/20. Also, wasn't the Democratic activist base thinking in 2020 that Trump getting elected would be the end of democracy? Good luck convincing them to stand down.
