The 2016 to 2021 leftist protest movements were effective not because they worked on Trump, but because they worked on Democratic law makers to show they had support for visibly resisting Trumps policies. As a result of resistance from the minority/ opposition party, along with internal incompetencies, Trump got basically almost nothing in that first term.
Since then the opposition party has shown that they did not value or prioritize litterally anything the protest movements were focusing on, instead prioritizing corporate donor priorities and a diet Republican approach to change. The core of the Democratic party were abandoned by Democrats in the period of 2020 to 2024.
Three Supreme Court justices. Massive tax cuts for the rich and corporations. I’d say he got plenty done, though luckily not everything for the reasons you point out (and others). Next four years are going to be rough.

This would be a compelling argument if the Biden administration hadn’t been the most economically progressive since LBJ.
