This makes me think the Cairo in CairoCarol is more likely to be Illinois than Egypt — since Egyptian regime change would, I suspect, have given you much experience getting through such stress.

A big consideration here, for me, is how bad is DeSantis compared to Trump. I’m thinking that a DeSantis nomination would mean the GOP had walked away from the full-on authoritarian brink. And that DeSantis is bad in a normal range. But I’m going to be learning a lot more about DeSantis in the next year or two, and might change my mind.
