There are plenty of good primers out there, but one I like and find accessible is “Anarchism: A Very Short Introduction” by Colin Ward
I wouldn’t say either party are the “good guys”, but the Republicans are the worse of the two, and it isn’t even close.
I’ve done this before with a laptop and KVM switch. It worked fine. YMMV depending on the dock and switch in question though. The only issue I ran into was needing separate cables for the mouse/keyboard and video from the switch to the dock.
