Same thing different taste

Dilbert principle
Today, the only colleague I dislike was promoted to be my manager. FML
Time wasted
Today, my new manager, who I have spent the last three months training, had a managers' meeting and now won't be returning. FML
Today, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Run!
Today, we had a family day at my new job. I used to have a very abusive boss in my previous position, who even slapped one co-worker across the face in the office, prompting me to quit. Guess who turns out to be my new manager's wife… FML
Now hiring
Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML

People quit bosses, not companies. That's a bad break OP but give it some time before you make a decision. It's possible your old boss quit his/her boss and this is a positive move for both of you.

Never mind, He's only had 7 months to think up shit to get you with. Surely fun times to come.

I would definitely talk to your current chain of command and convey your concerns about this new boss. Don't be rude or demeaning...just tell the truth. Hopefully it helps. Maybe you could be transferred to another department if moving that boss isn't a possibility. Good luck OP!

As long as your manager doesn't know that I think you will be ok. Maybe he has changed (doubtful). So just start looking for a new job
