Okay I need you to understand this. The Red States have been ignoring the old Supreme Court rulings. They do not care. and the Homeless laws I'm talking about were passed by Democrats, in contravention of old Supreme Court rulings.
This is not a SCOTUS issue. They're the scapegoat on these issues and the myth that there would be substantive change if we just kept Biden in office.
Either States are powerful enough to ignore the federal government, or they aren't. And the implications of that are not good for Biden either way. Because he's either powerless, in which case so would Trump be, or he's willfully allowing this, in which case the worst case scenario is already playing out.
Citation needed. Regardless if states follow the rulings, the supreme court can shift the views of the nation. After 2015 same sex marriage ruling, there was much higher support for same sex marriage, with noticable large increases with Republicans corresponding to the Supreme Court ruling:

From the Article from 2017:
To your other point:
When Biden assumed office, we were in the middle of a global pandemic, still social distancing because there were no vaccines, and we're having a 9/11 worth of American deaths every day. Maybe returning to normal life wasn't substantive for you, but there have been huge changes over the last 3.5 years of the Biden presidency.
In this situation, do you think Trump would be willingly allowing atrocities or actively driving and enabling them? A Trump presidency would clearly be the worst case scenario here.
