Their only hope is to literally indoctrinate the next few generations into accepting far lefty stances as the new center of the Overton window, thus permanently shifting the culture of America so that the pendulum isn't suddenly so far out there. Then shit like child drag queens, chopping your 8 year old's dick off for twitter likes, and teachers literally preaching the evils of whiteness will be seen as normal, and opposition to them will be seen as kooky right wing stances.
Thus, CRT, the desperate attempt to cut parents out of their children's education, the attacks on home schooling, et cetera et cetera. They NEED to have cultural control over the next generation, I'd argue more than they even need political power.
I would go so far as to suggest this is why the push for wokeism hit video games so hard 7 years ago when GamerGate started the pushback. Ditto the recent repeated attempts to destroy new media and force ever-left leaning algo changes on news / social media / video sharing sites. Hollywood is collapsing, new media is replacing old, and they don't have enough control over it to keep social engineering everyone. And the second they stop social engineering everyone and culture reverts to it's natural state, it's going to be a pretty big snapback.
With that in mind the pendulum might be much further out than we expected. Just how long has the left been organizing to social engineer things through stuff like music and Hollywood? Decades if not a full on century, right?
