Hey fren - thanks for sharing.
Living "undercover" is such a draining experience. I can relate from my 10+ years in the very left-leaning startup world. I was treated like an eccentric uncle anytime I left my mask slip too far.
I know this doesn't map onto your experience because you're in academia, but one of my oldest friends (white male) is a substitute teacher working towards getting a full-time posting.
Since his masters, he's been acting like every new step along his process is supposed to be the one that makes it all worth it, and it never is. He's surrounded by the woke/nanny zombie horde and he hates it... but he's a very duty-bound individual and thinks if he just works hard enough he will reap the rewards of all the effort he's been putting in.
I got the feeling he was just too scared/ashamed to try something new. The sunk-cost fallacy was at play, as was the fear of the unknown.
In his case, when he asked me a similar question to yours - I suggested he try and find a way into the private school system or start his own tutoring business. (Again, since you have a more academic trajectory I don't think those suggestions necessarily apply to you - I'm just sharing since there are some similarities.)
I always told him that if it was already this bad... why would it get better later? The poison is in the drinking water. It seems you've had a similar realization.
In terms of moving forward maybe we could start here:
What would you be doing after your PhD? Would you have a research role or would you move into policy etc. ? Aside from the Leftist-BS cancer, is there something deeper pulling you towards completion other than the sunk-cost fallacy?
Do you have any competencies/skills you could monetize? Or any areas you've always wanted to explore and never did?
Again, the statistical improbability of Mr. Biden winning the popular vote in these four States collectively is 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000⁵
Awoooooooooogah.
