Trump will have a primary with fewer competitors than 2016 (not hard). DeSantis is the clear runner up.
The liberal media and fox news will swoon over DeSantis. Everything Trump says will be rejectedout of hand by the media but DeSantis could say and mean the exact same thing Trump says and will be praised. Because only the character of Trump is what they reject, not his politics. Therefore, through DeSantis, Trump's politics will become normalized.
Trump still beats DeSantis and the media will try to denormalized Trump's politics again as though nothing happened.
While I'm at the lathe. The next president, whoever that is, will have a stroke in office but will survive. The media will pretend the President is so strong and brave to keep serving while its not entirely clear that they are able to. Some will spuspec that the President is half brain dead but we'll never get enough raw footage to tell.

My knowledge gets hazy after 1953, but I strongly feel like this already happened in late-stage USSR. It feels both weird and perfectly predictable that we're collapsing in similar ways to them. Or is this just how all empires crumble from within? Everyone doing an " everything is going great" face while we all know it's rotting from the inside out?

Aren't you just describing the past 6 years.
Or the last years of Wilson's administration
