I agree with you that if, what you hope for comes to pass, that it is a positive outcome.
My pessimism is hard to overcome though. I still remember the Pelosi gavel parade after ACA was passed. I also remember the attitude of Trump/supporters when he took steps to undo Obama's "legacy." Both sides manage to put the ass in class.
My prognostication is that if the Democrats control the House, Senate and Presidency there will be a move rush to undo Trump's "legacy", by going after "assault weapons" (ha), packing the Supreme Court, deleting filibuster, reanimating ACA, GND, broadening immigrant protections/benefits/entry, free education (and just about anything else), higher taxes on almost everybody, speeding up the rate of deficit growth (which already is approaching Mach 1) further abortion protections/funding, cuts to law enforcement and the military, etc., etc., etc. I don't foresee the progressive/socialist wing backing off and I really don't see Biden standing in front of that speeding bus of revenge/agenda. If all or most or any (depending) occur, the division in this country will become beyond repair (if it isn't aready).
For once I can truly say I hope you are right and that I am wrong.
