Trump represents some serious an important politics that I do not want to see buried. I do not want to see a return to the politics of the 2000s. While I would like to see Trump finally bounced out of the political system once and for all, I want the future to include many of his issues.

We were ready for that with Ron DeSantis but Trump came along and decided to become Woke Trump for 2024. Perhaps out of what he sees as political expediency (and, with abortion, it sure is), perhaps to spite socially conservative "traitor" Mike Pence, perhaps because he's surrounding himself with libs (his family, Musk, RFK, etc) who are telling him to do this, and perhaps because it's what he's always believed. Perhaps all of the above. Had Trump retired and DeSantis picked up the torch we would have been fine.
Re: Trump came along and decided to become Woke Trump for 2024.
If Trump is "woke" the word has no meaning, just a filler word rather like the way some rough-tongued people insert "f***ing" into sentences as an empty adjective every so often.
Trump's loyalty to his family is one thing that does make me think a bit better of him. Family is something I place a high value on.
That is a good point. All of his kids seem to have genuine affection for him and he the same. I know they have had all the privilege and "lucky" breaks that the wealthy enjoy, but that has not prevented other famous rich kids from all sorts of bad behavior, drugs, crime, etc. If there were skeletons in their closets, they would have been dragged out by now.
