Now that you mention it, when I look at who the USA electorate allowed to be installed as president, soon to be president, congress, and Senate, we can be assured that we can depend on Capitol Hill crowd exactly as you wrote: Let the individuals on Capitol Hill stand up and be counted, to do precisely the wrong thing.
People were glad to be rid of 2020 as though they've seen the worst. 2021 could make 2020 look like the good old days. Sure, covid is fading out. It was helpful to the LLL to get rid of Trump.

Maybe they'll choose 1.
