Gavin Newsom (horoscope score 9-2 with Uranus rising like FDR) has the potential to get noticed beyond the Sierras, and has already campaigned against DeSantis. It may happen for real someday, although I don't think 2024 is the right time. DeSantis may have ambitions to be the Bolsonaro of the north, and he has captured the land of elders and cubans, but he does not have the power to take over and lead the Trump cult to victory, unless the Democrats do something stupid like dumping Biden for Harris (horoscope score 3-17) or any other failed 2020 candidate.
Ike (score 17-10) did not preside over the nation of today, but Obama (18-3) presided over the nation that went through the sixties Awakening and then was taken over by neoliberalism and prejudice and the worship of Reagan and Trump. In the sixties, many people rediscovered themselves and their capacity to love and to break down barriers between themselves and others and see their spiritual core that enables a creative and caring way of life. This was called the counterculture, the human potential movement, the new age, the hippies, etc. It was vastly influential, but the reaction to it among traditionalists was strong too. The new sixties culture extended to vastly-expanded rights and opportunities for groups that had been largely excluded or thought inferior in the Americas for centuries, right up through Ike's time in office. And this includes Nature itself. It was a great liberation, and all this represented the Awakening, or what is now labelled "woke". The reaction to this is what Trump and DeSantis have appealed to, stoking the fear of white christian traditionalist patriarchal straight males being replaced by people different from themselves. I have called it the Sleepening, and its advocates are quick to make "woke" a derogatory term and thus proclaim their preference for being asleep.
Obama with his 18-3 score was able to arouse a coalition of the woke, while Trump (9-4) responded by mobilizing the movement of the unwoke whom DeSantis (who has only a 12-10 score) may be angling to take over. So, US Americans face a choice of whether to continue to wake up or remain asleep. The right messengers (like Biden, 16-6) must be nominated by Democrats to carry the message of Awakening so that our civilization may continue, and not be "replaced" by irreversible decline.
