one will be able to tack to the middle. There base will want to be affirmed as racists/commie hating rugged individuals constantly. If the 2024 candidate for the GOP tries to quiet the feeding frenzy during the election Democrats can step in a feed the base with saucy memes. I'm thinking things like: "Barbara Streisand, Biden supporter, is a known thespian in LA" or "Trump is a sweetheart" and and him quote Bambi using Bambi's voice in a meme". Because that is what neighbours do. The base will demand that Trump or DeSantis be nasty so they can re-affirm their toxic relationship. DeSantis nor Trump will not be able to tack center if they keep being pulled back into MAGA world.
