>I'm not sure why the meme on the right is that the left wants to protect Biden or anyone else.

No, the point isn't "protecting Biden", it's pure self interest. Tiktok is a social media platform that's very popular with Democrat's electorate and is already left leaning. Why risk it falling into the other party's control (especially near the end of Biden's term), just so you can maybe push more left leaning talking points?

Because the concept of limiting state power for when the other side takes power is not in the American political vocabulary.

The difference here is that unlike expanding the NSA or DHS, control of tiktok doesn't pass to the next administration, because it's held in private hands.
