On that theme, and something you've written about before, it's worth noting that Australia has a conservative government. New Zealand, right next door, has a liberal government; and also did much better than the US with COVID.
We should not get caught up in political posturing on COVID. There are decent, well-thought out scientific approaches from both conservatives and liberals...and there's a whole bunch of grandstanding and working to undermine the credibility of experts that has gotten the US into much more trouble than it should have been in.
