I think we sometimes forget that the GOP was planning on getting the VRA long before Trump came along. Thomas was a GHWB appointee, and Roberts and Alito were GWB appointees.

Now we have (formerly) "good" Republican Brian Kemp joining in. This has been on the GOP wish list since the VRA passed.

I've always thought the most likely outcome for the Democrats in 2028 is to basically emulate what UK Labour did in 2024: win a large victory then fritter it away pleasing their right flank.
