The Democratic party is the party that's been positioned to start a conflict with America. Fate has been placed in your hands and you reap what you sow apples.

Ummm.... from where I sit, that looks exactly like the Biden presidency too. Except, 'people like him' basically means establishment politicians and the sectors of the economy that have bought them.
So, from a libertarian perspective, politics as usual. Isn't it great things are back to normal
More seriously, though, from the EOs passed (over 30) and the bills on the agenda, it does feel as if Biden's role is to rubber stamp the wish list of the various parts of the DNC coalition. It goes beyond just reversing what Trump had done and into sweeping changes that will affect the country for decades to come. His approval rating now is mostly because he isn't Trump, not sure how long it will last once people realize there is more going on than that. OTOH, the media is completely covering for him with such hard-hitting questions as 'will he redecorate Air Force One' and sighs of how wonderful it is that his tweets are 'boring.'
Too early to tell what any of this means in a 4T perspective except that it is clear the DNC is acting in full Crisis Mindset (us v. them, our agenda uber alles) while a good half of the GOP still thinks if they cave enough we can get back to a 3T give-and-take. Bodes well for those who welcome the coming Utopia ™, I guess.
What you call the DNC agenda, is just the agenda of any concerned, thoughtful and informed citizen. This is not politics as usual; it is departure from the usual stagnation and regression under libertarian economics for the past 40 ridiculous years.
As I've mentioned before, I have no stake in the GOP or the DNC and the destruction of both at one time wouldn't bother me one bit. You should be listening to those of us who represent the libertarian perspective. The libertarian perspective is relatively neutral from a political prospective. As I've mentioned before, every one of your freedoms, your rights and Constitutional protections are directly related to us one way or another and burning a bridge with us would result in your demise because killing people like you would become a free for all. You and Biden are playing with fire while relying on/representing old laurels that have already been abandoned and no longer exist.
