There's also so many conservatives, today, that think crypto is the Mark of the Beast (whatever that means).

Look at this survey though:

Compare that to something that is a partisan issue like Environmentalism/EV ownership:

I really don't think it is a partisan issue if ownership of crypto is so even across political leanings. I know heaps of people that will likely vote Biden that have crypto. Sure there is a ton of media about the energy usage of Bitcoin, but when there are reports of coal mines being restarted for Bitcoin mining, and reports of entire towns getting sick from the noise of Bitcoin miners, the anti-Bitcoin rhetoric is understandable. Bitcoin miners need to take responsibility in this too.

I absolutely agree with everything you've said about Gensler, he's been straight up bizarre.
