That's exactly it. Biden doesn't have enough of a brain left to oppose the deep state - the bureaucracy - so with Biden, the elites will have complete control. Trump is a bit of a problem for them, but has been manageable so far. Sanders was an unknown, and might not have been manageable.
Biden is less likely to be a Grey Champion than Trump is. I'm starting to believe the "whoever gets elected in 2028" theory, though.
The entire 'deep state' conspiracy theory is the single, most effective tool the monied élite have had at their disposal. If government is gutted, then what counter force can oppose aggregated wealth? None! Biden is very familiar with the government bureaucracy, so some ratcheting-up of the regulatory framework seems a given. Will it be effective? TBD, but unlikely.
We're at a point that a wholesale reimagining of government is needed, but the US Constitution is designed to make that all but impossible. We may have more crisis than COVID-19 immediately ahead.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
