If Biden wins and holds the Congress, he will only have a bare majority in the Senate. That majority will not include Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema, though. Biden is routinely accused of "lawfare" against Trump, which is rank bullshit, but if your opponents are calling you a tyrant, hey, why not lean into it.
If you can hold the levels of power, there are two things that you could do through reconciliation that would be really, really satisfying. The first is to tax the shit out of billionaires and the second is to tax the shit out of megachurches.
Billionaires continue to support Trump, as Chait notes, because even though they thought January 6th crossed a line, there is additional millions to be had from tax cuts so...po-tay-to/po-tah-to.
As for the megachurches, the tax exemption for religious organizations has allowed cretinous scum like Joel Osteen to become filthy rich off the backs of his parishioners. That needs to stop.
Look, you aren't winning those groups and what's more, they aren't helping the country.
Eat the rich, damnit.
