To what I'm about to state may not initially sound like it's germane to your astute question, but it is something I'm always vigilant of.

In an unfolding tyranny the population always finds itself initially in a state of Disbelief. As the tyranny unfolds, Anger is the next reaction the public experiences. As it quickly grows, this is the point to which the regime is most vulnerable and it needs to act to quell the growing anger. This is also the point to which the population has the best chance of overthrowing the regime and thereby ending it. The preferred method of the regime is to trick the populace in believing things have changed and the tyranny is coming to an end. This is preferred over using force because doing so may ignite and only fan the flames of anger and protest/rebellion. It is the Bargain/offer stage most prevalently used by the tyrannical regime. It is older than time immemorial itself and has been used again and again throughout history. The Bargain/offer is made between the public and the ruling regime. Sometimes a deal is made with the opposing leader or/and others.

The "Change the batter" is a preferred method for accomplishing this. Whether Tulsi Gabbard herself fits this persona may not be left up to her. She could be unwitingly, or even wittingly, being used for the means to achieving their preferred result. Look at Governor Andrew Cuomo and how he was decapitated. The MSM suddenly turned on him. He was promised an easy out if he agreed to fall on his sword. Who replaced him? Another tyrant in Kathy Hochul. She is even more hated than Cuomo was. Look at the UK, they did the same thing with Boris Johnson as they did with Cuomo. Who replaced Johnson? Johnson's hand picked Liz Trust. In Australia the same thing happened.

Tulsi Gabbard could very well be a slow motion version of this for the Demolibs like you said. White hats? Who knows. IMHO, I follow Jesus advice, We will know them by their fruits. Tulsi fruits are rock solid Demolib for the entire time she's been in public office.
