Some of those are valid points. Where I think our 1T presidents will be different from Obama is that, in the coming era, people will grow tired of all the belligerence and divisiveness. A center right, or even center left president would be expected to take a harder line stance on riots, political unrest, etc. "We tried to bring to the table for 20 years. You will not threaten the peace we fought and died to build. Cease and desist..."
This will be even more true on a societal level. People will be open to discussing topics like socialized medicine, higher estate taxes, etc, but your histrionic liberal celebrity types, types like Meghan Markle or Ezra Miller will get kicked to the curb. It will no longer be acceptable to throw around terms like "racist", "misogynist", "transphobe", etc without a much greater burden of proof. Here in South Carolina, it's already like this. It's acceptable among both black and white people to punch someone in the face if they are excessively belligerent with you. Rather than creating a hostile environment, it creates an environment where most people have very good manners, because if you don't, you will eventually face the consequences when someone punches you in the mouth. Rather than the more mousy, apologetic manners of the US, it is a culture of a more gut-level kind of respect, where it's easy to be accepted if you don't come looking for trouble, but where you will be kicked out the door if you do. Don't get me wrong, there are still some pretty nasty vestiges of racism that pop up every now and then, but for the vast majority, you can get along just fine as long as you don't disturb the peace in the jungle.
Actually, come to think of it, I saw a meme awhile back that is, imo, closer to the kind of culture we're going to see in the 1T. The wholesomeness, patriotism and libertarian side of the right, with the broader net inclusiveness, denouncement of demagoguery and libertarian side of the left.
