I think a lot of the pushback was based on career officials simply disagreeing (fundamentally!) with Trump's policies, particularly with regard to trade, immigration and foreign policy. Since DeSantis would largely pursue the same policies, I don't see how it would play out different with him at the helm.
You think DeSantis and Trump would pursue the same policies? Why would you think that? DeSantis is your standard Republican who knows how to piss off libs on social issues.

Except that no one suggested defunding the FBI without replacement - the idea is to give the funds freed up by disbanding the FBI to state law enforcement, so that the same level of overall law enforcement is maintained, but coming from agencies which (unlike the FBI) aren't rotten to their core.
By contrast, the "defund the police" movement vacillated between "yes, we literally mean 'defund the police'" and "less cops, more social workers and psychologists".
That literally makes no sense and you should be ashamed for even mentioning it. What the fuck do you think the "F" stands for in FBI?
