Hi Russ:
All of these are valid concerns. I am also concerned that the 1st Amendment will be under serious assault if Biden caves to the radical elements in his camp to get elected or afterward. I'm sure you have read the Princeton letter and fall out. I am sure you are generally aware of the fate of those who express conservative opinions on campus or in most tech companies. Look how the left has treated J K Rowling, Martina Navratilova and others. Every D in the senate supports this:

The real pandemic afflicting the US is groupthink. We see it on this forum on the right, but it is pervasive on the left. In much of America diversity is prized, except diversity of thought.
If one is a libertarian, all of the choices are bad and both parties have little interested in protecting civil liberties.
