We ought not be too willing to sit back and cross our fingers that the political stars will align in the way the Lichtman describes, and not focus on the bigger picture.  Dems need to get busy, like Stacy Abrams did in Georgia. 

I completely agree.  I did not post that to suggest that Democrats should sit back.  As you say, we should do the exact opposite. We need to organize.  

What Lichtman would add is the most important thing Democrats need to do is govern well.   His theory is based on the optimistic premise that voters reward governments that govern well, and punish governments that govern poorly.  So if we want to win House and Senate and state legislative seats in 2022, Priority # 1 is governing well.

Yup, performance counts.

Trump ISN'T history...he's that dark clous that will be hanging over the Biden administration for the next 4 years...

Without his wild card executive power, will there be a cloud hanging over Trump?
