A lot of developments in politics look inevitable in hindsight -- and don't matter

Like this. Transgenders using public restrooms has been a pseudo-issue for some time now. So this was bound to come up the first time one were elected to Congress. And it's just as inevitable that it won't come up the second time.

The backlash against DEI and "wokeness" was implicit in somebody coming up with names for those things. But any backlash has a limited half-life. No governor after DeSantis, not even a Republican, is ever going to call Florida "the place where woke goes to die," because by that time it will just sound too silly.
