Yeah, I'm already seeing the republican establishment starting to give Trump the Dubya treatment: They go from practically worshipping him to ignoring him to trying to convince everyone that they never supported him in the first place.
I don't know which I wish more, that the republican party would stop having to retcon themselves or that the voters would recognize the pattern and stop supporting them when they know they're going to hate their presidents after they leave office.
Anyway, Desantis scares me more than Trump. Trump is easier to manipulate and doesn't understand politics enough to get his policies enacted. Trump also has very few steadfast beliefs, political or otherwise, so it's not like he's going to push for anything especially important. And now that the general public is turning against the Roe v Wade ruling and supports same sex marriage, Trump might try to get republicans to protect those just to get the public to feed his narcissism.
