Sure, elections will always have consequences, but the problem with American elections in particular is that the parties have traded places every 4-8 years basically since FDR. The past 50 years, the Dems have been the kicking-the-can-down-the-road party and lost any sort of interest in actually fighting for anything. And now we're here. If we had a (D) president now then we would have an (R) in 2028 and this would all be moot anyways. American institutions have been rotting since at least Truman--it will take much much more than a few election cycles to get out of this pit. The Democrats are going the way of the Whigs at this point, inshallah.
