The only thing that matters is popularity among the elites.
If elites push things too far out of step with the people, you get a backlash like you saw with Trump.
The troons had been good at intimidating the elites into silence, but now that more and more see their own children going down the drain of this idiocy, they become more critical. So yeah, that is how oligarchy works.
I see the troons as a weapon forged by the elites, especially the atheistic jew elites who often are the thought leaders of the Left. These leftist elites made their troon weapon and unleashed it, thinking it would aid in their destruction of American culture and society. However, the troons are now getting in the way of their mainstream control by shifting swing voters to the right, and are also engaging in a lot of friendly fire, so SOME of these elites have decided it's time to rein in their weapon.
They weren't the only ones who lost though.
I can't think of a single good candidate who lost. DeSantis absolutely crushed it in Florida. All the high profile losses were Trump-endorsed candidates who had a lot of flaws. These bad candidates dragged the whole side down, too, because the media could run nonstop headlines about how "ULTRA MAGA" the republican slate was.
they continue pushing their agenda even when a nominal opponent is in power. That is because they control the bureaucracy.
Yes and I've told you that fighting back against the long march through the institutions is a generational struggle. We currently have no easy answer to it. The eventual answer will be that we need to strip as much power away from the bureaucracy as possible so they lack opportunities to abuse it.

A backlash which then achieves absolutely nothing, because he's sabotaged and foiled at very turn.

Seems likely. But that means that the 'voters' don't have any say, as the Princeton study has shown.

It may be my bias, but I think it was abortion. Or maybe it's mail-in voting. Who knows?

Trump accomplished a great deal. Just because you don't get everything, doesn't mean nothing you did mattered.
Trump having broken their minds will yield benefits for years to come since it set up the Right for further victories. We need to move on from Trump, though. He was the hammer. He broke them, but you need a different kind of leader to pick up the pieces. If you're familiar with Dune, Trump was like our Beast Rabban, and whoever comes next - likely DeSantis but maybe someone else - would be Feyd.

While Trump was "president", your SAT added an "adversity score" to help keep out whites and Asians even more.
Yeah, sure, those 3 Justices are pretty great. And Trump exposing the media for the corrupt mess that it is is also good. But for the rest, it seems that the supposed powers of the presidency are non-existent, and that Princeton was right after all.

I'm not, but they sound like Fremen. My worst fear is Trump losing and then running as a third party, or turning on the nominee. And don't tell me sore loser laws. That's no comfort at all.

Trump is already losing popularity thanks to his lame attacks on other Republicans. It worked in 2016 because those other republicans were the same old establishment fucks the base was sick of. This new crop of Republicans are much more in tune with the base, and are actually popular and well-liked, unlike the charisma black hole that is Ted Cruz, or the neoptism hire Jeb Bush.
Trump attacking DeSantis and Hayley is costing him. If he keeps going like this, he will be dead in the water within 6 months. He also has the loser stink on him.
He won't run 3rd party if he can't win, out of spite, because he still needs Republican support to protect him from prison. He can't make his "brand" toxic to 70%+ of Americans. He's not a principled person. He will do whatever helps his status and legacy the most, and being a traitor won't help that.

Well... good luck. We're in uncharted territory.
