I've never seen anything like it.
I have to wonder if it's two fold
1). The margin of victory was a clear mandate
2). We know Biden was never truly running the show and more the fracture between him and whomever WAS running things is evident as they've said "F' it!" and walked away. Kamala can't show her face and has gone into hiding. Biden has whatever farewell tour(s) he needs to do, but it's over. Whatever toxicity there was in the West Wing has turned into complete apathy amongst the staff. This is like the person that's turned in their two weeks but didn't have to train their replacement
I've thought something similar.
If you were using all your energy/influence to pull strings and move chess pieces around, but you've effectively been cut off...why keep up the effort? It really looks like the current situation is confirmation what we already knew.
I think it's why we're seeing some last desperate moves (throwing out additional foreign aid, selling off pieces of the wall, authorizing long-range missile use, etc). One last eff you to Trump as he enters office.
